This hidden gem is the ultimate autumn vacation spot in B.C.

Summer may be over, but vacation season has just begun… Picture this. You’ve just completed a picturesque drive up the sea-to-sky, past Pemberton and into serene mountain ranges of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast.

Summer may be over, but vacation season has just begun…

Picture this.

You’ve just completed a picturesque drive up the sea-to-sky, past Pemberton and into serene mountain ranges of the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast.

You round a bend and are welcomed by expansive views of shimmering lake, framed by trees that have just begun to flirt with fall colours. You hear horses trotting in the background and notice adorable bunnies (yes, bunnies), hopping in lush green field. The air is clear and you wonder to yourself, “why don’t we vacation in the fall more often?”

Instead of getting bogged down by the summer-is-over blues, we recommend getting in the car and escaping to Tyax Lodge and Heliskiing in Gold Bridge, B.C. Here’s why fall is the best time to go there and get away.

IT'S NOT TOO FAR AWAY

We get it, summer is over which means real life responsibilities have started to creep back in. Not to fear, Tyax is located about 4-hours north of Whistler, B.C. The lakeside wilderness resort offers spacious rooms and private chalets that are perfect for families or large groups. Settle in, unplug, and rest easy knowing that you won’t have to deal with jetlag or crowded airports. After all, you’re only a few hours from home.

THE SCENERY IS SPECTACULAR

While summer can be magical, autumn at Tyax offers the same warm weather without those pesky B.C. bugs. Fortunately, Tyax has been completely unaffected by this year’s wildfires, so the air is crystal clear.

SEASONAL COOKING IS AT ITS FINEST

Tyax Lodge supports local organic farmers, keeps food miles to a minimum, bakes their own bread, butcher their own meats and makes their own charcuterie in order to offer menus that reflect a sense of time and place in the Chilcotins. With seasonally rotating menus, Tyax’s culinary team, led by Chef Marco, takes the best that B.C. has to offer in the fall months, transforming seasonal ingredients that might be worth the trip alone.

FEWER CROWDS = MORE RELAXING

Let’s be honest, summer getaways aren’t exactly therapeutic. Places are crowded, expensive and there's a lot of pressure to enjoy yourself. Autumn however, is all about getting cozy, which makes it the perfect time to hit the spa! The Spa at Tyax specializes in a diverse array of holistic bodywork treatments delivered by highly trained and gifted individuals, hand-selected to meet the needs of each guest. Get a massage, snuggle up under a blanket, this is what fall vacations are all about.
