Life at Basecamp Hotel
Step inside a warm and welcoming hideaway built in the spirit of Arctic trappers and explorers. Basecamp Hotel is not only a place to stay, it is the starting point for all our expeditions deeper into the wilderness.
Mornings begin with the soft glow of light over the valley and the scent of fresh coffeeFrom here, guests set out by snowmobile, dog sled or on foot, venturing beyond town and into the vast Arctic landscape.
Throughout the day, the hotel becomes a gathering place for adventurers returning from the wild, sharing stories, drying gear, and preparing for the next day’s journey.
Basecamp Hotel is more than a place to stay.
It is your base in the Arctic, where every journey begins and ends.
