Our wilderness area consists of mountains, glaciers, alpine meadows, valley bottoms, and clear blue lakes. The guide area is partially within Ts’yl-os and Nuntsi Provincial Parks, assurance that it will remain pristine and natural. With extremely low road access, your main transportation while hunting is done by classic horseback, hiking, and boat.
