Private Events at Edelweiss Village

It Takes a Village

If you're planning an event for a group and looking for somewhere a little different, you've come to the right place.

At Edelweiss Village, you can rent an entire mountainside village just minutes from Golden, BC. Six historic Swiss chalets, 53 acres of mountain scenery, gathering spaces, viewpoints, open green space, and room to create an experience that's entirely your own.

Some groups book a few chalets for a family reunion or bachelor weekend. Others reserve the entire property for a wedding, wellness retreat, corporate gathering, guided adventure, or creative retreat. There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach here, and that's exactly the point.

What makes Edelweiss special isn't just the setting. It's what happens when people stay together. Mornings spent sharing coffee on chalet decks. Evenings around the community fire pit. Conversations that continue long after the day's activities are finished. The chance to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy being somewhere that feels removed from the everyday, without actually being far from anything.

Located just outside Golden, the village feels private and tucked away while remaining easily accessible for guests, vendors, caterers, and event organizers. You get the feeling of a destination event without asking people to travel hours off the beaten path.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering for a handful of people or a multi-day event with hundreds of guests, we'd love to help you bring it to life.

Why Edelweiss?

The property includes six restored Swiss chalets that can accommodate up to 33 overnight guests, along with expansive outdoor gathering spaces, open fields, mountain viewpoints, a community fire pit, and endless opportunities to customize your stay.

Unlike traditional venues, there are no rigid event packages or predetermined schedules.

Want to host morning yoga on the lawn, an afternoon workshop, dinner around the fire pit, and a stargazing session after dark? Great.

Want to spend the weekend mountain biking, hiking, rafting, golfing, or exploring Golden with your group? We can help with that, too.

Weddings

There's something special about having your wedding guests stay together.

Many couples choose to reserve the entire village, transforming Edelweiss into a private wedding destination complete with accommodation, gathering spaces, ceremony locations, and reception areas.

With room for up to 33 overnight guests, optional event tent rentals, shuttle services, preferred vendors, and the flexibility to build your celebration from the ground up, Edelweiss Village is designed for couples looking for something beyond a traditional wedding venue.

Whether you're planning an intimate mountain ceremony or a celebration with more than 200 guests, we'd love to help.

Wellness Retreats

If you're looking for a place to host a yoga retreat, wellness weekend, mindfulness workshop, fitness camp, or personal development experience, Edelweiss Village offers the flexibility to bring your vision to life.

The property features large open green spaces suitable for movement sessions, group workshops, meditation practices, fitness classes, and outdoor gatherings.

The peaceful setting naturally encourages guests to slow down, disconnect from daily distractions, and focus on the experience you've created.

Artist Retreats & Creative Gatherings

This place inspires creativity. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and wide-open views, Edelweiss Village provides a setting that encourages inspiration, reflection, and uninterrupted creative time.

Artists, writers, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, and creative groups often seek out places where they can focus without distractions. Here, guests can spend the day creating, exploring, collaborating, and gathering together in the evenings.

Whether you're planning a structured retreat or simply bringing together a group of creative people, the village offers a setting that's both inspiring and practical.

Adventure Guides & Group Operators

Guiding is part of the history of this place. For generations, the Columbia Valley has attracted climbers, hikers, skiers, mountaineers, and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world. Edelweiss Village was originally established by Swiss mountain guides who helped shape the area's guiding culture, and that connection to adventure remains part of the property's identity today.

If you're a guide, tour operator, coach, instructor, or outdoor organization looking for accommodation for your group, we'd love to explore ways to work together.

The village works particularly well as a home base for:

✦Hiking trips
✦Climbing groups
✦Backcountry skiing adventures
✦Cycling tours
✦Photography workshops
✦Multi-day guided experiences
✦Educational programs
✦Outdoor leadership training

Reserve multiple chalets for your guests or book the entire village depending on the size and scope of your program.

We understand that every trip operates differently and are happy to discuss custom arrangements.

Celebrations, Reunions & Special Occasions

Not every event needs a formal agenda. Sometimes you simply want to gather the people you care about in a beautiful place.

Birthday celebrations, anniversaries, family reunions, bachelor and bachelorette weekends, graduation trips, holiday gatherings, and milestone celebrations all feel right at home at Edelweiss Village.

Stay together in one chalet, spread out across several, or reserve the entire property.

Spend the day exploring Golden, relaxing around the fire pit, sharing meals, and enjoying the kind of uninterrupted time together that's becoming increasingly rare.
