Worn out but apparently functional chalet near the top of Brohm Ridge. Parking is available just before the locked gate, on the side of the service road. A 4x4 is definitely required to get here. Once parked, the chalet can be accessed by walking around the gate and down (and up) the road. Estimated distance is 1.4km past the gate. Nice hike. The story behind this is that the chalet was originally built for a proposed ski resort (1960s?) that never materialized. Proof of this is the chair lift ruins, found both by the chalet as well as a few km away by the side of the road. Pretty cool and creepy to look at. They also got rid of the trees along the proposed route at the time, and the clear cut strip is clearly visible even now. The lodge was closed at the time (guess it's generally only open during the winter months), but it looks cozy and hipster. Pretty sure it would be fun times staying there. Lastly, the views of Mount Garibaldi and the (very) top of Brohm Ridge are worth checking out. read more
