If you have an adventurous spirit
and a love for the wilderness, you'll be captivated by the power, mystery
and light of the northern land. Every season is special in its own way:
Come in September for the spectacular fall colours. Come in December to
watch the freeze-up of Atlin Lake. Cross-country ski from November to the
end of March. Heli-ski from January to April. Winters here are beautifully
bright and sunny and the snow is pristine.

creative process with focused work or want to take time for a wilderness
adventure; and whether you want solitude or interaction with others, this
special place could be for you.
The Centre is 4 km from the historic
village of Atlin and sits on a mountain plateau overlooking British Columbia's
largest natural lake. The Centre is on 10 hectares of wooded land adjacent
to vast tracks of wilderness. There are 3 main buildings around a spring-fed
pond.
