MORAINE LAKE LODGE, ON SHORES OF "JEWEL OF THE ROCKIES" IN BANFF NATIONAL PARK,
OPENS JUNE 1 FOR 2007 SUMMER SEASON
Iconic Canadian Rockies Attraction is Served by Luxurious Lodge
Set Alone in the Valley of the Ten Peaks
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada - Moraine Lake Lodge will open for its 95th summer season on June 1. The luxurious resort (prices start at approximately $295 CAD) is set snug in the famous Valley of the Ten Peaks in Banff National Park, approximately a two and a half hour drive from Calgary, Alberta.
To kick off its 2007 season, the resort is offering preferred early season value. From June 1 - June 4, stay four nights and only pay for three. Standard lodge pricing will reconvene June 5 through the end of the season when the resort closes for the winter on September 30.
"Moraine Lake Lodge sits alone on the edge of Moraine Lake, which is named the Jewel of the Rockies for its spectacular beauty and iridescent turquoise water," said Nancy Stibbard, who owns the Lodge as part of the British Columbia-based Capilano Group of Companies. "If you're looking for an all-day adventure, we'll pack your lunch and point you to the ancient glaciers. Or if you'd rather relax in comfort, choose a book from our library and enjoy an afternoon on your private patio surrounded by Banff National Park's Valley of the Ten Peaks."
With the towering mountains and crystalline lake serving as the main attractions, each of the Lodge's 33 guestrooms provide fireplaces, soft down duvets, deep soaker tubs, private balconies and custom-made furniture. When designing the new Lodge and cabins, world-famous architect Arthur Erickson ensured that no view went to waste, going as far as incorporating a glass ceiling into the Lodge's gourmet dining room.
The location of Moraine Lake Lodge allows for countless outdoor eco-adventures. Guests from all over the world visit to canoe on Moraine Lake. Other outdoor activities in the area include hiking, horseback riding, fishing, rock climbing, mountaineering and bird watching, all in a secluded wilderness setting.
Moraine Lake Lodge is part of the Capilano Group of Companies (CGC), which is owned and operated by Nancy Stibbard, who has developed a number of world renowned properties including Capilano Suspension Bridge and Treetops Adventure in Vancouver and Cathedral Mountain Lodge near Lake Louise. A new resort project is also expected to be finished in 2009 on Mackenzie Beach in Tofino, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
