These six-bunk cabins tucked above a remote section of the Icefields Parkway are much loved by climbers and hikers looking to escape into Banff's backcountry. Facilities include solar electricity, a shared lounge, a lively communal kitchen, and the hostel manager's adorable dog, Miss Cutie – but what really sets it apart is the toasty wood-burning sauna steps from icy-cold Rampart Creek.
