Larch Life x Big Nature Hiking Sessions

JUNE 21, 2025 | SEPTEMBER 27, 2025

Are you itching to explore Moraine Lake with an awesome group of like-minded adults to celebrate the Summer Solstice?

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise are two of the most beautiful lakes in the Canadian Rockies, and it can be really complicated to access them, even for Alberta locals. This is why we’re offering you an epic day of all-inclusive guided adventure!

Say goodbye to the struggles of securing shuttle tickets and fighting traffic to get to those iconic lakes. We’re taking care of everything from pickup in Calgary to wholesome snacks while hiking and more.

Join two adventurous community builders, Emilie of @lovelife_abroad and Rowan of @rowanexplores for a day filled with hiking and sightseeing. Enjoy convenient pick up and drop off from Calgary and a full-day of hiking at the infamous Moraine Lake.

Your professional guide from Big Nature will educate you about the area’s history and wildlife as we travel past Western Canada’s most beautiful scenery and hike into the most sought-after areas in the Rocky Mountains.

Weather Policy:

We’re Here for Your Safety and Enjoyment!

We’re committed to offering a fun and safe experience, no matter the weather! We’ll hike in most conditions, but in the rare event of extreme weather that could impact safety—such as very cold temperatures, high winds, or hazardous road conditions—we may need to adjust the plan. This could include large amounts of snow, severe wind, or travel advisories.

If conditions are challenging, we’ll do our best to relocate to a more suitable spot, adjust the itinerary with extra breaks, or, in some cases, cancel the session if there’s no safe alternative. We’ll always keep you informed of any changes or cancellations ahead of time, so if you haven’t heard from us, you can assume the program is going ahead as planned.

To stay in the loop, please make sure we have your current contact information, including a phone number where you can be reached the day before or the morning of the session, in case we need to reach you.

Be sure to check mountain forecasts before the session, as conditions in the mountains can differ from the city. Dress accordingly, and we’ll see you on the trails—come rain, snow, or sunshine!

Cancellation Policy:

We understand that plans can change! If you need to cancel your participation, here’s our cancellation policy:

Cancellations made up to 7 days before your scheduled session will be fully refunded, minus a small booking fee to cover administrative costs.
Cancellations within 7 days of the scheduled session are non-refundable.

Please note:

We recommend letting us know as early as possible if you need to cancel, so we can try to accommodate others who may want to join. We appreciate your understanding, and we look forward to hiking with you!
