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.

Tyaughton Lake, Gold Bridge, BC Tyax Lodge & Heliskiing offers a dining experience that pairs the tranquility of nature with refined lodge-style cuisine. While the surrounding scenery steals much of the attention, the restaurant manages to hold its own with well-prepared dishes and genuine mountain hospitality.

Halibut and Chips Served with fries, coleslaw, and a sauce gribiche, the halibut and chips impressed with its golden crisp batter and well-balanced seasoning. The fish was flaky and tender, maintaining its moisture beautifully. The fries were crisp, and the creamy sauce complemented the dish perfectly. Rating: 8/10 Calamari Accompanied by tzatziki and fried shishito peppers, the calamari was light, crunchy, and well-seasoned. 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. Rating: 8/10 Cheesecake For dessert, the cheesecake delivered a pleasant finish. While its presentation was modest, the flavor was rich and creamy without being overly sweet—a fitting end to a satisfying meal. Rating: 8/10 Service Service varied between meals. The morning staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient—quick to clear tables and offer refills. However, evening service felt slower and less engaged, with longer waits between courses and minimal table checks. It wasn’t poor, but the contrast was noticeable. Rating: 6/10 Ambiance The ambiance at Tyax is simply stunning. The lodge’s rustic charm blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings—wooden beams, large windows overlooking Tyaughton Lake, and cozy interior lighting that gives a warm alpine feel. Whether you’re seated for breakfast as sunlight glimmers over the lake or enjoying dinner beneath the mountain dusk, the setting is undeniably beautiful. Rating: 9/10 Price Prices lean toward the higher end, reflecting both the remote location and resort-style dining experience. Given the quality of ingredients, portion sizes, and overall setting, the cost feels justified, though not necessarily a bargain. Verdict Dining at Tyax Lodge & Heliskiing captures the essence of wilderness luxury—honest food prepared with care, served in one of the most breathtaking settings in British Columbia. While service could be more consistent in the evening, the combination of solid cooking, serene ambiance, and scenic views makes this a memorable culinary escape worth experiencing.

We feel so lucky to have visited this very special place! The mountain biking access, complimentary watercraft, lodge games, bar & restaurant are amazing, and it's all located in one of the most beautiful places on earth, it's unbelievable! The desk staff really helped sort and accommodate our schedule. All wait staff was kind, friendly, and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious. The spa was relaxing! What more could you ask for?

This is a must go to. Beautifully scenic incredible Lodge anytime of the year. We were just there a week ago, summer 2025. The lake was beautiful and warm, the food was very good and absolutely outstanding service by all the members of the team there at Tyax. I cannot speak more highly of the service from everyone and the friendliness of all the staff. If you are looking for a great get away for hiking, biking, fishing or just to relax this is a great option. It is so peaceful and absolutely beautiful. See you next year!

We recently stayed at Tyax Lodge and had an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of — genuinely some of the best service we've ever had! The food was consistently excellent, and the breakfast and brunch buffet was especially delicious — fresh, generous, and full of thoughtful options. The watercraft activities were a highlight too — from paddleboarding to kayaking, everything was well-organized and the lake/views are breathtaking. Fun to watch the float planes too. Our room was luxurious, quiet, and so comfortable — the kind of place you actually want to linger in. Great attention to detail. Highly recommend Tyax to anyone looking for a relaxing yet active getaway with top-notch hospitality. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!

We stayed in the Lynx Chalet at Tyax for 4 nights in early July. The Chalet is located a short drive or walk from the main lodge on a separate property. It was very spacious and well-equipped for self-catering. We had full access to all of the amenities at the Lodge, including kayaks/canoes/paddle boards and the games room. The biggest and most wonderful surprise was that the restaurant and bar were fantastic. Being in this remote a spot we weren't sure what to expect but the food was really delicious and varied, they were able to accommodate our dietary restrictions no problem and the cocktails were divine! We did a great hike in the South Chilcotin Mountains Provincial Park next door and spent lots of time swimming and paddling on Tyaughton Lake. We would love to return one day soon.

We stayed there 37 years ago for our honeymoon. We had such a great time. If things work out we would love to come back for our 40th anniversary.

Excellent place for relaxing vacation with whole family! The greatest service ever! The staff so professional and friendly, the facilities are so clean and welcoming. Just amazing place, the nature, the service, the atmosphere, the food, completely everything! The road is a little bit challenging, but so beautiful. I am thankful for the comments and suggestions about the road people shared in their reviews, so read before you go and everything will be fine. We stayed at summer and enjoyed every moment! Thank you, we definitely will come again!

Beautiful location, albeit hard to get to. The staff were absolutely lovely. The food was mediocre, and despite staff specifically asking about my partner's dietary restriction on check in, had zero options available for her. Drinks at the wedding we attended were $16 each for a couple ounces of cheap wine, an ounce of bottom shelf spirit or a small cup of beer. Not the best value for money in the middle of nowhere. But, again, the staff were absolutely fabulous.
