Modern Mountain Lodge - all-season family fun

Welcome to Skala Lodge, where traditions begin & memories are made. Our modern, spacious all-season retreat in heart of the Columbia Valley is ideal for family vacations, a getaway with friends, or simply a quiet escape. The lodge is designed for entertaining with a spacious gourmet kitchen and family area, 4 cozy bedrooms, 2.5 baths, sauna & many handy extras. Guests enjoy the sunny, south-facing deck year-round, with ample, comfy seating, gas firepit, BBQ, and stunning views of Mt. Swansea. Savour the first (& last) drink of the day on the deck, curl up in front of the cozy wood-burning fireplace with a book from our library, enjoy some friendly competition the pub-themed game room, cuddle up with some Netflix or Disney+ in the family room and relax in the sauna after a long day of hiking, skiing, skating the White Way, golfing or simply doing nothing at all. We’ve added lots of little extras so you can pack light. All-season Lake Windermere, hot springs, golf courses, countless trails, and 4,265 vertical feet of snow at Panorama Mountain (to name a few) are minutes from the central location. Please contact us with any questions at any time before or during your stay. We've spent many years in the valley and we are happy to provide recommendations and suggestions to help you enjoy the area as much as the locals do. Swansea Road is the gateway to some of the most incredible hikes through the Purcell Mountain range. Fairmont Ski resort is minutes down the road, and Panorama Mountain is 15 minutes away. Radium and Fairmont Hot Springs are similarly close, as are 8 golf courses! A quick trip into Invermere to get to the beach, restaurants, shopping and more. Walk to Valley Alley just down the road for ice cream or a bowling match.
