Highlights
  • Lost Lake PassivHaus - Itinerary:
    Our professional guide will fluctuate between two trail options. Both include much of the same but terrain and views vary.

Opt 1: You’ll walk from the bridge across from the PassivHaus, along the Valley Trail to the start of the Fitzsimmons Accessible Nature Trail (4 min) Option 2: You’ll walk from the bridge to behind the Lost Lake sign to a single track walking trail (2 min). Both trails have little to no elevation. Suitable for all abilities and ages.

Introductions (5 min)

Observational Walk with occasional stops along the way (30-40 min).

This 800-meters interpretive walk includes a rich landscape of diverse ecosystems, bear scratch trees, a cave under ancient cedar roots (Fitz trail), mountain views, a glacier-fed stream, a grove of ancient cedars, birds, berries and more!

Stop and sit beside a glacier-fed steam and enjoy a tea ceremony, our guide stories and meditative moment. (10 min)

Additional Information

Family Friendly Tour (children under 3 are free)
This tour is suitable for all ages and ability levels.

Escape and refresh your family in an immersive Nature experience. Your Guide will help you observe the forest’s atmosphere through educational, playful and meditative experiences. As your senses tune into the present moment each rock, leaf or slug becomes the most important thing. Remove the stresses of life and create space to notice the bird singing and light filtering around you. You’ll forage from Nature’s garden for our tea ceremony. Learn about owls, lichen, salmon, bears, mycelium and more while the sounds from glacier streams move relaxing frequencies through the fresh air.

Whether it’s your first time becoming comfortable in Nature or Nature has become as familiar as an old friend, your guide makes sure each session is uniquely inspired to help you feel safe. Enjoy being alive and thrive outside while creating lasting memories together.
