About Nipika

The 1500 acre Nipika Rocky Mountain Resort brings to life the dream of Lyle & Dianne Wilson to create a unique wilderness haven for outdoor enthusiasts that is in harmony with the Kootenay's spectacular Rocky Mountain setting.

As an eco-lodge, Nipika generates all its electricity via solar, micro-hydro, and takes pride that its beautiful cabins and lodge are energy self-sufficient.

Nipika is also a working woodlot. You may observe the horse logging operation while out on the trails. The cabins at Nipika are constructed from woodlot trees killed by mountain pine beetles, which were milled and notched onsite. Much of our beautiful wood furniture grew on site and was produced right in our woodworking shop. Through sound and selective forestry practices, it is Nipika's goal to enhance the wildlife and recreational values of the area. We are one of the leader when it comes to eco-minded rocky mountain resorts.

There is a natural emphasis on self-propelled recreation at Nipika. With its 50-kilometre trail network and rivers nearby, the rocky mountain resort beckons visitors to hike, cross country ski, snowshoe, mountain bike, canoe and kayak.

Nipika is a friendly sanctuary for weary workers, kids and families, or for group gatherings.
