ADVENTURES FOR THE SEASON

Cold Weather Activities

IN WINTER

Winter at Lumière is shaped by proximity. The mountain is just outside, with ski-in, ski-out access in Mountain Village making it easy to move between the slopes, the village, and the quiet of returning in.

Some days begin on skis and stay there. Others widen into snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, ice skating, or time farther out in the San Juans. Whatever the pace, the season is led first by weather and light.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoe through the forest and open terrain surrounding the property. Routes vary in length and elevation, with flexibility to turn back or linger as conditions change.

Suitable for most experience levels.

Backcountry Skiing

For experienced skiers, guided backcountry outings are available when snowpack and weather allow. Terrain is selected for stability and snow quality..

These days are planned carefully and may change with conditions.

Cross-country Skiing

Skiing follows meadow crossings and wooded trails near Dunton. Routes offer quiet time on snow-shaped ground. Outings range from short loops to longer days further out.

Nordic High Meadows

Higher-elevation routes open when conditions allow. Skiing here is expansive and unhurried, shaped by snow depth, weather, and visibility.

These outings are planned carefully and adjusted day by day.

Snowmobiling

Snowmobiling provides access to wider terrain and longer distances during winter months. Routes are chosen to balance exploration with respect for conditions and surroundings.

Outings are arranged in advance and tailored to experience level.

Ice Climbing

On select days, guided ice climbing is available on frozen waterfalls on the property.

This activity is arranged in advance and requires favorable weather.

Dog Sledding

Dog sledding takes place in open winter terrain outside the valley.

Typically planned as a half-day outing.

Snowcat Tours

Snowcat tours offer access to high alpine terrain during winter, moving slowly through snowbound landscapes that are otherwise unreachable.

Availability depends on weather and snow conditions.
