Adventure & connection.
Far from the crowds, deep in the mountains
Join us for a transformative experience. Immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of the Kootenays while riding with friends, old and new. Our camps are all about connection—connecting with the awe-inspiring surroundings, like-minded riders, and your inner strength as you push yourself further. Imagine riding on remote gravel roads, winding through epic valleys, along meandering rivers, with breathtaking views at every turn. You will leave with a new perspective on cycling.
PUSH YOURSELF IN A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
At our Guided Gravel Biking Camp, nestled in the remote and breathtaking West Kootenays of BC, we believe that riding your best means pushing yourself while having us support you. Our camps stand out by offering both a lead cyclist and a support vehicle. You can push yourself to your limits or take a casual pace, knowing that we are there for you.
LODGE LIFE AT ITS BEST
The White Grizzly Lodge is located at the north end of the spectacular Kootenay Lake. Our unique location offers access to a wide variety of rides that will keep you entertained and inspired. Explore long and winding roads that climb in every direction, with lakes, rivers, and creeks meandering through the landscape. From long-loop tours and epic valley climbs that reach the alpine to casual valley-bottom rides, we have something for every cyclist.
After your ride, take a refreshing swim in Duncan or Kootenay Lake and then unwind in our cozy, timber-frame lodge, with incredible food, and share stories of the day around a fire.
