The Alpine Club of Canada runs a variety of family-friendly backcountry huts in the mountains. These are perfect for adventurers who love to ski or snowshoe into the backcountry. Some provide meals, but you’ll have to pack your own food for others. The huts book up fast, so make your reservation ASAP.
