Ski resorts love to tell their potential guests about all the ‘unique’ experiences they have to offer all the while trying to entice with perfectly staged images and colourful descriptions of the surrounding beauty.\u00a0 The only problem with that is, many of the \u2018unique\u2019 experiences ski resorts offer are the same across the board!<\/p>\n

\"8572210917_9cbf535d2d_o\"That\u2019s why, at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, when we say people visit us for a Truly ‘Unique’ Experience we aren\u2019t just saying\u00a0it as a shameless self promotion, hoping to seduce on words alone, we really mean it.\u00a0 Whether you are a skier, \"21494717259_146360cb95_k\"snowboarder or simply have a deep appreciation and love for nature’s beauty, you\u2019ll want to visit to be whisked 7,700 feet to the top of our Eagle\u2019s Eye Express Gondola to our mountain top observation area\u00a0and dining experience at Eagles Eye Restaurant.<\/p>\n

The aptly-named restaurant sits at the top of the gondola, at over 2300m above sea level and is the Highest Elevated Restaurant in all of Canada.\u00a0 The multiple award-winning dining venue (including Tripadvisor’s 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2019 Certificate of Excellence) offers stunning views of the five surrounding national parks and the breathtaking mountain peaks, down to the valleys.\u00a0 Eagle\u2019s Eye is the crown jewel of ski resort dining, offering far more than your typical ski resort burgers-and-fries, and won\u2019t break your holiday budget for lunch, apr\u00e8s ski and open for \"20310498982_428d3f5370_z\"dinner Friday & Saturday nights in the winter.\u00a0 Your meal could consist of one of many of our Chef\u2019s creations (made with fine local ingredients) anything from – Wild Boar Poutine, Summit Salad, or even Duck Confit (please note menu options change per season).<\/p>\n

Not only is Eagle\u2019s Eye the Highest Elevated Restaurant in Canada, but it’s\u00a0also the ultimate bedroom with a view.\u00a0 Home to two luxury suits, where you can sleep on top of the world with all the amenities of a high end \"IMGP2320\"hotel.\u00a0 A night at Eagle\u2019s Eye includes a private chef, butler and instructor guide to help you get around the mountain. But, perhaps the best perk is a guaranteed first tracks in the morning from the front door of your very own mountain top private mountain chalet.<\/p>\n

Visiting in the summer? Visit Eagle\u2019s Eye during our summer operations for a different view from the top!
\nSo this winter, wake up with this view….<\/em><\/p>\n
