More Info & Bookings

Aurum Lodge is Alberta's only solar powered and solar heated country inn and a leader in sustainable tourism in the region.

The facility offers two accommodation options for visitors who choose Bighorn Country as their destination in the Canadian Rockies. The lodge contains six guestrooms, which come with breakfast or halfboard. Three self-contained units with kitchens are also available for guests who prefer to look after themselves and prepare their own meals.

All units, except the two bedroom apartment, are designed for double occupancy and have ensuite baths. All units are smoke-free units.

The facility is easily accessible on good highways from Lake Louise and Jasper (Hwy 93 / Icefield Parkway) or from Red Deer / Rocky Mountain House on Hwy 11 (David Thompson Highway).

Guests are encouraged to "tread softly" and help reduce the environmental impact of tourism in the area.

PICTURES

Lodge and cottage seen from the South. Aurum Lodge is a healthy house, built and operated sustainably. Two thirds of energy needs are obtained from renewable sources, including the solar collectors seen in front of the lodge. Together with other conservation measures, this has resulted in an 85% reduction of fossil fuel use, avoiding noise, pollution and resource waste.

Superior Corner Room in the Lodge. All lodge rooms enjoy a spectacular view and are furnished with comfortable European style beds. Ensuite bathrooms. Breakfast included. One corner room is fully wheelchair accessible. Our standard rooms are smaller and share an enclosed sunroom, ideal for two couples travelling together or for a family with teenage children. The Suite also has a jacuzzi tub.

Interior of self-contained cottage unit, ideal for guests who prefer to look after their own meals. These units offer a full kitchen, ensuite bath with shower and are fully winterized with infloor heating and a wood stove. Outside there is a patio and access to wood grill and pic-nic area.

Abraham Lake and the David Thompson Highway of Alberta (Hwy11), considered to be one of the most scenic roads in North America. This is the valley of the North Saskatchewan River, which flows from the Columbia Icefields to Hudson Bay. Aurum Lodge is located between road and lake in the centre of the picture.
