Mike Wiegele – Albreda Lodge: Facts & FAQ
As a separate destination from Mike Wiegele’s main Blue River Resort, additional travel is necessary to arrive at Albreda Lodge. Fortunately, this operator will handle the transportation from their main facility. To arrive at Blue River, a few travel stages are necessary.
First, skiers should fly into Vancouver or Calgary International Airport. From there, they’ll need to catch a connecting flight to the smaller Kamloops Airport, with daily flights being offered via Air Canada and WestJet. Once in Kamloops, guests will need to rent a car to transport themselves to Blue River Lodge. This is a 2.5-hour drive along mountainous roads. However, if a 7-day package was booked, Mike Wiegele will provide transportation from a variety of hotels in Kamloops.
The Albreda Lodge is unique in that everything is found in one building, unlike Blue River Resort. From your room to the dining area, you’ll never have to endure cold walks to disconnected buildings. The Albreda Lodge features 17 private rooms and two double occupancy rooms, making it ideal for private heliskiing excursions.
While staying here, there’s a variety of amenities to enjoy, including:
- Chef-prepared meals and world-class wines
- Fitness room and climbing wall
- Sauna
- In-house massage therapist
As mentioned, the Mike Wiegele – Albreda Lodge is meant for the more advanced skiers coming to the area.

Much of the terrain at this location can be accessed quickly. Paired with their unlimited vertical packages, you’re sure to score countless high-intensity runs every day of your trip.
Because of the commitment to more advanced skiing at Albreda Lodge, this location is ideal for individuals that want a private experience, are looking to ski as much as possible, or both.
