The Adamants is a beautiful and remote backcountry lodge that is only accessible by helicopter. Situated in the northern Selkirks, it is perched at the junction of four valleys so has easy access to fantastically varied heli skiing with a mix of perfectly spaced trees, wide-open glaciers and big alpine bowls.
The Skiing
The Adamants runs the speedy and flexible Small Group programme with ski groups of 4 guests with two different helicopters servicing four groups per helicopter. Guests can expect to ski a rich variety of tree skiing and alpine terrain with skiing elevation between 900m and 3,100m and runs are between around 500 – 1,200 vertical metres each. Due to the fast nature of the programme the lodge is best suited to more experienced powder skiers or groups of 4 guests who are at the same standard and want to ski together.

The Property
The lodge has a capacity of 30 skiers although additional non-skiers can also be accommodated. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and configured as double, twin or single rooms. The individual bedrooms are simple with no telephones or TVs but do all have en-suite bathrooms with small baths and showers as well as hairdryers in each room. Most of your time will be spent out skiing or relaxing in the communal areas which include an open-plan dining room with long communal tables, and a bar area which opens out into a comfortable living room. This is where guests mingle for après ski, regaling their stories from the day in front of the open fire and picking out their route from the day at the map-table.
Other features of the lodge include a stretch room for the morning stretch class, small gym (with free weights and spin bikes) and games room with table tennis table and pool table. There is a spa facility with steam room, sauna, massage rooms and an outdoor hot tub. A large drying room complete with individual boot warmers and clothes racks is positioned right next to the entrance of the lodge for easy access at the start and end of the day.
The lodge has a capacity of 32 skiers although additional non-skiers can also be accommodated. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and configured as double, twin or single.
