Formerly a basic service station for travelers to the Yukon and Alaska, Bell 2 Lodge is now a modern wilderness resort. In the winter months it is home to one of Canada's premier Heliskiing operations, Last Frontier Heliskiing. Recent upgrades to facilities meet the highest environmental standards.

We offer the comforts of a first class lodge with a rustic touch of the Canadian wild. The dining room, lounge and bar act as the focal point for fishing stories to be shared.

Accommodation
Our resort holds a Canada Select rating of 4 stars and resembles a mini-village with walkways connecting all the buildings. While we have capacity for more we limit the number of fishing guest to only six anglers at a time. Guest are accommodated in chalets approximately 100meters (300feet) from the main lodge building. Each of the rooms within the chalets is spacious with either two queen size beds or one king size bed.
Warning: Beds are dangerously comfortable. All rooms have a private entrance, bathroom, wood-burning fireplace, telephone and Internet connection.

Food & Wine
Unique and creative meals prepared with fresh ingredients by our chef will impress and satisfy the most cultured of tastes. We can cater to all dietary requirements and any special diets with advance notice.
Breakfast is served buffet style, lunch on the river is varied and prepared by your guide and dinner usually consists of four courses. A good selection of wine and liquor is available from our cellar.

Dining room
Spacious and comfortable, all anglers converge in the evening to share stories of the day's events and make plans for the following day.

Lounge & Bar
Full service bar and satellite TV to catch the World Series or start of the hockey season. A pool table, darts and other games along with a small locally focused library will also keep you amused.

Relaxation center
The sauna and hot tub are ready for you to relax in after a day of fishing and are only steps from your room. Massage services are available most weeks.

Telephone and Internet
A satellite communication system provides reliable service both for phone and Internet connection to the real world.

Gear drying room
Storage of rods and wading gear is provided in our drying room. Anglers wake up to warm and dry clothes with plenty of space to prepare for the new day ahead.


History
Ernie Kreese built Bell 2 Crossing in 1979 as a gas station and garage. Why 'Bell 2 Crossing' you may ask? - It’s at the second bridge over the Bell Irving River. Later a small restaurant and cabins were added to the facility. In those days, Hwy 37 was a gravel road from Kitwanga right up to the Yukon border it was a bumpy, dusty and adventurous ride.

Ownership changed in the mid 80’s when Pete and Kathy Kossey became the proprietors. It wasn’t until the fall of 1996 that George Rosset and his ambitious partners looked closely at using Bell 2 as a base for helicopter skiing. No less than two years later, they bought the property and established the largest heliski area on the planet. ‘Bell 2 Crossing’ was renamed ‘Bell 2 Lodge’.

Between 1998 and 2003, the new owners of Bell 2 Lodge invested heavily in redesigning, refurbishing and more or less completely rebuilding the existing lodge structure as well as building all the surrounding chalets and facilities.

A rich and vibrant First Nations culture thrives in this spiritual place. Visit the local First Nations villages to experience canoe and totem carving, traditional fishing and smoking, cultural tours and dance along with the beliefs they have passed on through generations. You will be captivated by their legends and past events (Aadawak) that depict the history of each tribal house. To learn and understand the culture of a people dependent upon and dedicated to the natural resources and wilderness is an experience to be cherished forever.
