Nuk Tessli
June 21–25, 2026
Nuk Tessli Lodge – on the edge of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park
Step into one of British Columbia’s most remote and breathtaking alpine environments for an advanced, all-inclusive trail running adventure. This five-day trip is designed for experienced ultra runners and mountain lovers who are eager to push their limits and explore terrain far beyond the beaten path.
Nuk Tessli Lodge sits deep within the Coast Range, accessible only by float plane. Its rugged, pristine setting delivers endless ridgelines, alpine lakes, technical travel, and the kind of solitude that is nearly impossible to find. Expect long, rewarding days on foot and zero crowds—just you, your guides, and the wild.
Participants must be comfortable running and run/hiking in mountainous terrain for 6–8 hours per day, navigating a mix of terrain ranging from established trails to completely off-trail alpine travel. We have some big days planned!
