Located in a spectacular place, in the southeastern corner of British Columbia in Canada, we have the benefit of offering unspoiled, uncrowded, incredibly scenic trails to our guests.
Mountain Trek is an all inclusive super natural fitness spa ("fit farm, the new kind of, "fat farms"), specializing in active vacations, fitness weight loss programs, mountain hiking, weight loss camps, hiking, yoga, residential weight loss programs, supervised fasting, spa cuisine, and massage, all in a spectacular setting in southeast British Columbia, Canada, the Pacific Northwest, near Nelson British Columbia. We are renowned for our wonderful hiking experiences; this is the keystone of our business. Because we are in the middle of the mountains and have a large inventory of trails, we can provide different levels of hiking, from beginner to advanced, and visit a different wilderness trail each day for a variety of experiences throughout a week. Our guides are enthusiastic, professional, interesting individuals who care about giving you the best vacation they can. We receive many, many accolades on the quality of our guiding staff, and indeed all our personnel.
A popular program at Mountain Trek is FitPlan Plus™ Weight Loss retreat. This is a truly comprehensive package (it is a highly structured "boot camp") combining our outdoor experiences (snowshoeing in the winter, hiking in the other seasons), indoor training and assessment, a sensible effective food plan, and a motivational mindset to get you going in the right direction and keep going! It is truly a program for those ready to make a lifestyle change, whether you are currently “fit” or “not-so-fit”, toward maintaining a healthy weight with fitness, fun, and relaxation.
PhilosophyIf you need to be pampered and treat yourself softly, then there are many spas who are perfect. But if you want an on-the-ground, natural challenging outdoor experience with a healthy perspective, then Mountain Trek may be for you.
