The Lodge at Metis Crossing
Written in the Stars
A peaceful retreat where modern comfort and Métis heritage come together amid Alberta’s breathtaking wilderness.
Swap the rush of daily life for the depths of the Alberta landscape at Metis Crossing. Location wise, this place looks like it belongs on the front of a postcard, with dense forestry and rich, verdant woodland as far as the eye can see - and the lodge itself is equally enchanting. It’s a seamless blend of traditional charm and contemporary comforts, with a peppering of authentic Métis influences and earthy textures that bring the outside in. If you like to keep busy, you’re in luck. From bison spotting and food experiences to getting to know Métis culture, dull moments simply don’t exist. As dusk falls, head to the Sky Watching Domes for an unforgettable night of stargazing.
