CABINS KLUANE B&B

WELCOME TO KLUANE BASE CAMP
YOUR FIRST STOP BEFORE ADVENTURE

Mount Logan ...19550'...5959m...Highest peak in Canada... second highest peak in North America...an endless icefield surrounding this huge mountain... a climate so special it makes this summit unique for climbing...

Did you dream of it?...It's here, in the palm of your hand!

But before starting to climb, you need a place to prepare your expedition in the best conditions, waiting for the day of your flight up to the icefield. This is our goal : thanks to several kinds of accommodations we can provide depending upon your budget, to modern and fitting buildings, to an favourable environment to health and mental preparation, to a quality hosting, you'll feel quickly like home.

Kluane Base Camp is located 5 mn walking from the airstrip. So no need to tell you you'll be able to fly as soon as the pilot decides so.

Regarding accommodations, you may use the cabins if you wish. Nevertheless, we know that climbers like rough conditions, and only the expedition matters, everything else is just details! And because climbers budgets are mainly for climbing, we understand that you may not afford high rates. That's why we provide 2 "rougher" accommodations: campground and hostel. You'll find every information at the "Accommodation" page.

Of course, you'll have a total use of the main building, including hot showers, toilets and kitchen.
A gazebo is also available as a dry place to store your gear.

If you feel short in food and drinks (because of a long bad weather period or no flight conditions), we can provide some (cans, soups, rice, pastas, pops, fruit juices...).
We can cook a meal too, ready for your return.

Small gear may also be available (sleds, flags...) depending upon the time.

We'll do our best for your stay to be perfect. Many climbers from all over the world have already stayed at Kluane Base Camp, some for just one day, some for a week, some unknown, some famous, and everyone has enjoyed his stay. Nothing's more pleasant than seeing the people you met before the climb, coming back and telling us about their adventures! So let's say "see you soon"!

Warning: Don't forget that Mount Logan is located inside the Kluane National Park, and because of this, you'll need a permit to climb. You'll get all informations at warden office.
