Food scene

Beaver Mines is the last village before Castle Mountain Resort. The General Store is worth a stop before you arrive. Check Facebook for opening hours. Local Hint: The sandwiches and baked goods are fantastic, and the shop carries a variety of craft beer from Alberta.

Castle's only pub is a great place to go! The thin crust pizza is fantastic. This old school pub is full of stories and great days. Watch out for the bell hanging in the bar.

New to the Crowsnest Pass, this brewery has quickly become a must stop. Offering a variety of their own beer as well as hand cut fries and fire roasted pizzas, there are no bad choices. Our recommendation - the garlic fries are next level. Pair with the Mountain Juice pale ale, and you are set. Great pricing as well!

What to Do

We are located right in this village. If you are looking to make the most out of your winter vacation, here are our recommendations: Snow School: Check out the variety of programming Castle offers. All instructors are knowledgable and can take your skiing or riding to the next level. They also offer a great childminding area for your littles to get introduced to skiing/snowboarding in a fun way. Food: - The T-Bar Pub and Grub is a must while visiting. Check out their pizza - it is not to be missed. Activities: - Snowshoeing: Visit Alpenland or ask us to borrow a pair of snowshoes and hit the trails. Locals have been building snowshoe trails for years and they are worth the walk as you wander into scenic forests. - Fat biking: Many of the snowshoe trails also act as fat biking trails. It's a great work out and a new way to experience life on two wheels.

This natural disaster changed the Crowsnest Pass forever. A rockslide from Turtle Mountain came down and demolished the small mining town of Frank over a century ago. The Frank Slide Interpretive Centre has come up as a way to honour those lost as well as get a glimpse into the mining history of the Crowsnest Pass. Incredibly well done and the slide is absolutely something to experience.

Outdoor Activities

Pass Powderkeg is a hidden gem that we are a bit biased about! The community owned resort offers many things to do year round, including mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and hiking. Biking: Buck 50 is a a must do. Pedal up from the base of the ski hill road and ride along a flowy single track run all the way back down. Great for intermediates and up. Hiking: The bike trails are multi-purpose. These are great beginner hiking trails to get your feet wet. Use the app "All-Trails" to find out more. Skiing/Snowboarding: Open in mid-November, PPK is a great spot to get your winter legs back and experience a throwback into what skiing used to be like. Much of the hill is lit so join us after a day at Castle!

This is a fantastic hike not far from the house. It is a bit challenging but gives you an incredible view of where the prairies meet the mountains. The trail is well established and not to be missed.

Haig Lake resides in the basin between Mt. Haig and Gravenstafel Ridge. Skiers would recognize it as it is located below Castle's famous Chutes. This hike is approximately 1.5 hours from the house, and is well marked and established. Be aware, this mountain lake often has bears near by. Make noise and bring bear spray.
