Clayquot Wilderness Lodge
Albreda Lodge | Blue River
Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing
Located in the heart of British Columbia’s backcountry, the Albreda Lodge project showcased MTN Side’s ability to deliver exceptional craftsmanship in a remote and demanding environment.
Working within the character of this historic property, our team completed custom log work, concrete decks, and one-of-a-kind heritage railings that were crafted and machined entirely on site to complement the lodge’s original architecture. Every detail was approached with care, balancing modern durability with the timeless character of the building.
Remote logistics, challenging site conditions, and limited access required thoughtful planning and problem-solving throughout the project. The result is a space that honours the lodge’s heritage while providing long-lasting, high-quality craftsmanship built to withstand its mountain environment.
