Mountain Trek Health Reset Retreat

Beautiful location with amazing mountain and lake views. Challenging and regarding hikes and healthy and satisfying cuisine. Interesting guests and conversation. It’s no joke, make sure u are prepared according to the prep tips they provide you!!

I recently attended Mountain Trek for a week for the second time. I wanted a retreat that was hiking centered and the experience at Mountain Trek is so much more than simply fitness. They provide a comprehensive program for a full body and mind reset. Every need is taken care of so guests may focus on their experience. It's an interesting blend of having a whole week to focus on taking care of yourself while someone else takes care of everything to take care of you.The communication prior to, during, and after my visit was excellent and the responsiveness to guest questions or needs far exceeds most customer/guest experiences I've ever had. The attention to detail related to every aspect of staying there and thoughtfulness in planning the daily/weekly schedules are an authentic reflection of the mission of Mountain Trek.

The location is beautiful, but that’s where the positives end. There are no locks on the doors, and despite their claims of respecting guests’ privacy, they clearly don’t — I even caught staff entering my room uninvited. When I raised a separate concern with the manager, she was dismissive and condescending, showing no real customer service skills. Their so-called ‘health education’ relies heavily on pseudoscience and diet culture. While some guests might enjoy the experience because the strict routine does lead to weight loss, the approach feels more like a health cult than a wellness retreat. They’d be far better off focusing on creating a genuine spa experience centered on fitness, good food, and relaxation.

What a wonderful, transformative trip! I spent a week in British Columbia earlier this summer as a way to reset and form some new habits in my life. Everyone there was lovely, the location was perfect, the hikes were amazing, and the food was incredible. I returned home more relaxed than I've felt in recent history. Thank you to everyone who made the week so memorable.

I just returned from an amazing week at Mountain Trek, and I am reset and rejuvenated! From arrival to departure, everyone on staff works so hard to make it an excellent experience! They all truly care about your well-being and making everyone happy. The food was healthy and delicious (you may want to bring your own hot sauce if you like heat!). The hiking was challenging as well as nurturing and fits all different levels from experienced and fast to slow and steady newbie. The yoga and recovery workouts were also great and much needed. I found it very powerful to do the forest bathing, the breathwork, somatic therapy and Reiki (all new to me). A lot of healing took place this week for me, and I will definitely be returning to stay connected to my inner self. I wasn't looking to lose weight, but I did, and most importantly, I made more muscles! I must give a special shout-out to Katya, Krista, Jennifer, the nutritionist, Jen in the office, Michelle, the somatic therapist and Allison and Joe, the great massage therapists that I had. Special thanks as well to the great cooking staff, all the hiking guides, the people who did our smelly laundry after each hike and the lovely cleaning staff. This place is magical and I hope you will find time to invest in yourself and go soon! Life-changing for everyone who was with me on the adventure - it's like adult summer camp with deep personal work and a mental and
