​Sustainability and environmental stewardship are cornerstones of our business and the packages we offer. Here are some highlights.

 

• Mallard Lodge, and all other buildings, were pre-built off site, and reassembled on site, minimizing the disruption associated with onsite crews and machinery.
• The Lodge was built to accommodate only 6 guests at a time, requiring a very small physical footprint.
• A grey water purification system is used to filter all grey water before discharging from the lodge
• We use a propane incinerating toilet which creates no black water discharge, and instead converts all waste to harmless ash.
• A large solar system with 9 solar panels provides electric power, and is designed to minimize generator usage year round.
• No road was built to the lodge, significantly eliminating a large physical impact on the surrounding environment

Located in one of the most pristine & remote areas of British Columbia, on the west slope of the Rocky Mountains, call the area Punch Bowl. The winter brings huge snowfalls of perfect dry powder, while in the summer the high alpine offers hiking above the tree line with incredible Rocky Mountain scenery as the backdrop. In reference to the historic “Committee Punch Bowl” at the nearby summit of Athabasca Pass, Punch Bowl brings together a vast area of five river valleys, all connecting to the Hugh Allan River, which flows into the mighty Columbia River. This area was explored by famed adventurer David Thompson of the Hudson’s Bay Company during the fur trade era.
