How to Book an ACC Hut

Members and non-members can book ACC huts through the member portal. Booking windows differ by hut type — and BC provincial park huts are open to everyone equally.

Most Alpine Club of Canada (ACC) huts are booked through the ACC member portal. Members receive earlier booking access and discounted rates. The main exception is BC provincial park huts, where members and non-members share the same booking privileges and rates.

How to book online

  1. Sign in to the member portal at app.alpineclubofcanada.ca
  2. From the left-hand menu, choose Hut Bookings
  3. Select your hut, dates, and number of guests
  4. Provide details for each guest; full name and email address attached to the guest's membership
  5. Pay in full to confirm the booking

Note: Member rates and the extended booking window only apply when you are signed in to the member portal.

Pre-arrival email

A pre-arrival email containing important hut information — including the hut access code (where applicable) — will be sent 7 days before your trip. If you have not received this email, call the ACC office before travelling to the hut. Office hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 am–5:00 pm MT. The office is closed on weekends and statutory holidays.

Booking windows

  • Most ACC huts: Members can book up to 180 days in advance. Non-members can book up to 90 days in advance. Members cannot book non-member guests beyond the 90-day window.
  • BC provincial park huts (Kokanee Glacier Cabin, Bugaboo Hut, Silver Spray Cabin, Woodbury Cabin, Elk Lakes Cabin, Robson Pass Hut): Members and non-members can book up to 180 days in advance. Rates are identical for everyone — no ACC membership required.

Booking less than 7 days out

For last-minute bookings within 7 days of your stay, the online system isn't available. Call the reservations team at (403) 678-3200 or email info@alpineclubofcanada.ca. The pre-arrival email will be sent automatically at the time of booking when the reservation is made less than 7 days out.

Fair Access Bookings

Due to the high demand, summer bookings for the Lake O'Hara (Elizabeth Parker) Hut and Robson Pass (Byron Caldwell) Hut are managed through Fair Access Bookings. Check the ACC website and member communications for Fair Access Bookings opening dates. Members and non-members may submit their applications online through the member portal. Non-members will need to create a free account.

Section huts

Section-operated huts — such as Wally Joyce (Bon Echo) Hut, Keene Farm Hut, Jim Haberl Hut, Tantalus Hut, Hišimy̓awiƛ, and Wendy Thompson Hut — are not booked through the ACC member portal. Visit your section's website for booking details and availability.

Kees and Claire Memorial Hut (Spearhead Huts Society)

The Kees and Claire Memorial Hut is booked directly through the Spearhead Huts Society — not through the ACC portal. ACC Vancouver and ACC Whistler members get a 90-day booking window through that system.
