The Altoona Ridge Lodge is your source for mountain adventure in the heart of America's back country.

You can ski, snowshoe, snowmobile, hike, hunt and cloud watch from the front door. The panoramic views are unobstructed and stretch for 120 miles in all directions.

The Altoona Ridge Lodge is nestled deep in the woods, and sits at an elevation of 7600' above sea level. Sitting at the end of a 10 mile dirt road, this is the perfect getaway from the pressures of every day society.

The lodge is built on a west-facing slope, and during your stay -
you will be completely 'off the grid'.
The heat in the buildings comes from wood-burning stoves, all the wood we use is harvested on our property. In the kitchen, the hot water (during summer), and lights are powered by propane.

The lodge is the ultimate access to the backcountry.

The sunsets and star filled sky are completely unfiltered by city lights, smog, and buildings. Whether you come alone or with a group, the lodge is exclusively rented to each party.

Fun and adventure awaits you at the Altoona Ridge Lodge, and we blend the ruggedness of the mountains with the comforts you are used to.

The three buildings of the Altoona Ridge Lodge provide you with all of the creature comforts you will need for your getaway into the back country. In the Lupine Chalet, you will have access to a full kitchen with a 3 bin sink, a full set of cookware, plates and silverware, a full size stove, and a fridge to keep your beer cold in the summer time.

The Wild Rose Chalet holds a wood fired sauna, and in the summertime there are showers and a flush toilet.

The Altoona Ridge Lodge is privately owned, and is surrounded on all sides by over 1 million acres of National Forest land.

The Altoona Ridge Lodge is the ultimate getaway for year-round adventures. It is the perfect setting for vacations, team building retreats, private gatherings, and more.

The Bear Den Chalet boasts a separate sleeping area, allowing you to sleep while others chose to stay up. The Lodge is built to provide comfort during your getaway to the quiet and secluded solitude of the mountains of Western Montana.

The lodge is designed to accommodate parties of up to 8 people, and you can choose between self guided and customized guided or hosted trips.
