My daughter and I came to Tyax Heliskiing for two nights, mainly to escape the usual routine and spend some proper quality time together — and honestly, it was absolutely worth the drive from North Vancouver. The road in? ? Let’s just say the adventure starts before you even arrive! A little sketchy, very bumpy, and at times we were wondering if Google Maps had a personal grudge against us. But once you arrive, you quickly forget about the road. Tyax feels like a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by an incredible lake and beautiful wilderness. The whole setup is peaceful, quiet and feels like a real escape from everyday life. There are so many things to do depending on the season — lake adventures, games, outdoor activities, exploring, relaxing, and plenty of opportunities to just slow down and enjoy being together. For us, the best part wasn't even a specific activity. It was simply having two days away with no distractions, enjoying the lake, laughing, playing games and making memories together. ?? The place is beautiful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and the location is something special. If you're looking for somewhere peaceful, unique and a little different — Tyax is definitely worth the journey. Just bring snacks for the drive… and maybe a chiropractor. ? 5/5 — beautiful hidden gem, unforgettable family time, and absolutely worth the bumpy road!

I was fortunate enough to be able to fit in a trip to Tyax Lodge just last month. This visit came after a couple of previous visits this last winter and summer 2025 that completely exceeded my expectations. With the lodge sitting right below world class biking and hiking and just above the pristine Tyaughton Lake the setting is just perfect for a week away. The staff at reception greeted me warmly, the housekeeping staff tended to our needs eagerly and I was captivated at the incredible meals the local chef was able to curate. Thanks to all the Tyax team, I’ll surely be returning!

We camped here for 2 nights in July. Loved the drive there since I like service roads and the adventure ( via the Hurley FSR). Check-in was straightforward, and we booked hiking lunches for the second day there as we were planning to go on a day hike from the lodge. We set up our tent, and went to check on the showers for the campsite... to our dismay, they were extremely gross... dirty and tons of bugs in the showers. So much for paying about $100 per night for a CAMPSITE. Anyway, dinner was great. Our waiter Lucy was fantastic, she is so considerate and we loved her. None of the other waitresses/lodge employees stood out or were as friendly and helpful as she was. The next morning, we went for breakfast. Coffee was kinda lukewarm, not that great. Food itself was again delicious. Our hiking lunches were wrong though, we asked for wraps when given the choice between wraps or sandwiches, and we got sandwiches. We were anxious to start the hike so we took them as is. After our hike, our dinner was again great, we had Lucy as waitress again. Highlight was the chocolate ice-cream dessert, so good! We went to the spa (paid extra since camping) and it was a nice relaxing experience after hiking around 2200m elevation all day. Went to bed at 2130, and lay there waiting for the wedding that was going on to quiet down... since there was a 2200 quiet time posted everywhere around the campsite, and we were exhausted. Well I guess the 2200 (10 PM) quiet time only counts for campers? I already struggle to fall asleep, and it did not help that the wedding people were yelling and singing along (badly) until way after 11PM... Not cool. Breakfast the last day was again delicious food-wise, but coffee was lukewarm again (latte/cappuccino)... not sure why but the decaf cappuccino I had before dinner the night before was perfectly hot... All in all, it's a beautiful location, the food is fantastic. Drinks are hit or miss, service is hit or miss, if there are weddings, be prepared to not sleep until late. Not sure if we would come back again.

I stayed for 12 nights with a great view looking down over the lake and the surrounding gardens. The meals and service was great and we got looked after very well. The Elk was very nice. The hotel is quite remote, which is its own appeal. There is plenty of mountain trails to try and the Canadian wildlife. But if you want serenity and to relax then this is the place to go. The recent works done on sealing the roads and new added gardens are a great new touch. I look forward to coming back down the track

We recently stayed at Tyax Resort for a girls' getaway and family celebration, and it was such a memorable experience. The setting is absolutely stunning, with beautiful lake and mountain views that make it easy to relax and disconnect from everyday life. The resort offers the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility, whether you're exploring the area or simply enjoying the scenery. One of the highlights for us was how welcoming Tyax was to our dogs. Traveling with pets can sometimes be challenging, but the staff made us feel comfortable, and there were plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors together. Our dogs had just as much fun as we did! The accommodations were comfortable, the grounds were well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It was the perfect location to celebrate with family while also enjoying some much-needed time with friends. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already talking about our next visit. Thank you, Tyax, for helping create such special memories!

Truly amazing across the board from the skiing itself to the knowledgeable staff to the great amenities - every single detail was planned out for you so you could just enjoy yourself when you got there.. I had an absolutely incredible experience and would high recommend this to anyone else looking at heli-skiing options Can't wait to get back in the future!

Had an absolutely incredible experience at Tyax Lodge. There were so many things that stood out, but the one-group-per-heli setup was truly next level. Yes, the helicopter is loud when it drops you off, but the moment it leaves, it’s pure silence and peace at the top of the mountain with your group. From there, you ski down to a waiting helicopter through terrain that feels both exciting and incredibly safe, guided by a lead and tail guide. I was initially nervous about heli-skiing from a safety perspective, but that quickly disappeared. Between the guides, the pilot, avalanche gear, and airbag backpacks provided, I felt completely taken care of. It allows you to focus on skiing instead of worrying. The lodge itself exceeded every expectation. From a barista making gourmet coffee each morning (with multiple milk options) to multi-course dinners, après snacks, and an on-site spa and massage, every detail is thoughtfully done. The comfort and hospitality elevated the entire experience. What really stood out, though, was the people. The staff makes you feel genuinely welcomed - like you’re part of a family. It’s rare to find a place where no corners are cut across both experience and safety. Truly an unforgettable trip. The experience is unmatched, and it’s one I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Thank you Tyax!

Tremendous heli ski adventure with Tyax. My son and I were first time heli ski participants and thoroughly enjoyed our 4.5 days of skiing high alpine bowls, rolling mid mountain slopes and lower glades of trees. We never saw another group and never crossed any skier / snowboarder tracks. The single group format with dual guides enabled relaxed helicopter boarding, slope flexibility, and reassurance for any trailing participant. The single group format also enabled a participant to sit out a run or two by staying in the helicopter. The skiing day was supported by constantly available water, power snacks, and a multi choice skier lunch - soup, cheeses, fruits, sandwiches, charcuterie, and dessert. I was also impressed by the multiple safety briefings that included helicopter entry, egress, emergency procedures, plus the usage of the airbag pack, shovel, snow probes, and transponders. The pilot and guides were very serious about safety. They also solicited frequent feedback to help make any required adjustments. The lodge accommodation and staff were incredible. Very quiet, comfortable room, excellent breakfast, après, and group dinners. Our well traveled table commented multiple times about the high quality, variety and abundance for each dinner. The spa with steam, sauna, hot tub, stretching and exercise rooms were clean, inviting and comfortable. I am very pleased that we selected Tyax. The entire staff made us feel very welcome. We went for the snow. But, we loved it all. I am eager to return next year.

This is my fourth visit with Tyax heliskiing. It is my first time under new management. The operation remains a great experience. Access from Vancouver was by a comfortable Sprinter van and then helicopter. The skiing was fantastic. Slope selection by out guide was appropriately challenging without compromising safety. The one group per helicopter is a wonderful change. Our group was a mix of 8 skiers and snowboarders from Austria, Switzerland, Canada and USA. Although we had not met before, our skill levels matched well as well as our personalities. Together we enjoyed the well guided ski experience, exquisite dining and morning yoga. The rooms were spacious, quiet, well appointed , clean and comfortable. I had a massage and it was wonderful. Steam, Dry Sauna and a hot tub was helpful for my sore muscles. I do not do yoga regularly, but It saved me every day by getting me ready for the slopes.

The peppers added a playful touch of heat, elevating the overall experience. Rating: 8/10 Salmon Salad The house-cured sockeye salmon salad featured baby greens, tender potatoes, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg. The flavors were clean and balanced, showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. The salmon itself was the highlight—silky, delicate, and just salty enough to complement the greens.
