Our Lodge
Mount Engadine Lodge, a Castleavery Hospitality Ventures property, is one of Kananaskis Country’s best kept secrets. Our unique, all-inclusive property features back-country access to world-renowned skiing, snowshoeing and hiking, with the amenities and comforts of a modern resort, including a gourmet restaurant and bar.
We pride ourselves in providing an elevated backcountry experince, and are Eco-Stay Certified. To keep our environmental footprint as small as possible, our lodge relies on a generator and battery bank for power. There are no TVs or telephones in the rooms, no cell service, and WiFi connectivity is limited (there is a satellite phone in the main office for emergencies). We encourage guests to disconnect and embrace the surrounding wilderness.

Getting to the Lodge
Our Location
Address: 1 Mount Shark Rd, Canmore, AB T1W 0B9
Mount Engadine is a short, scenic drive from Calgary and Canmore. We are located off Smith Dorrien Trail – Highway 742. Please be aware that Highway 742 is a gravel road, running for approximately 37 km. Because it is a numbered highway rental car insurance is still valid. Highway 742 is plowed and sanded regularly during winter months, but please drive with caution.
We have plenty of parking space available for guests. Please reverse into parking stalls in the winter, as some car batteries may need a jump start when the weather is cold.
Please contact us with any questions about road conditions, directions or parking.
