Working at The Lodge.

From its breathtaking location to its unmatched hospitality and rich history, The Lodge at Bow Lake constitutes a one-of-a-kind experience in an extraordinary place. Located in the majestic Canadian Rockies, The Lodge’s history is grounded in the ancestral past of the Indigenous people of the area and entwined with 19th century explorers, the formation of Banff National Park, and the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.

As Stewards of this small oasis on the shores of Bow Lake, we take our role seriously with particular attention to our impact on the environment in the area. Come join us for an unforgettable few months in the Canadian Rockies where the mountains will be your playground for the summer. 

If you are interested in joining our team, please get in touch for a staff information package by contacting us at info@lodgeatbowlake.com. We look forward to meeting you soon!

    ii. A fleece layer

    iii. Your favourite toque (never leave home without it)

    iv. Hiking boots or Trail shoes

    vi. Hiking poles

    (A note about water bottles: we encourage you to bring a water bottle as we do not sell water in plastic bottles. We do however have some wonderful water bottles for sale at The Lodge that will make a great addition to your pack and serve as a reminder of your trip to The Lodge.
