Company Description

Owned and operated for over 25 years by the Griffiths family, the Overlander Mountain Lodge is a boutique mountain lodge built in 1963 that overlooks the east edge of Jasper National Park.

The main lodge is home to the Stone Peak Restaurant. A farm to table casual fine dining restaurant with panoramic mountain views and a Wine Spectator awarded wine list.

During the winter season, we have reduced hours by being closed Monday nights and all day Tuesday plus 3 weeks in January.

The winter is focused on group events & weekend getaways.

Events include ones we host ourselves like Harvest Festival each October and groups that book our facility like Opimian Wine Society or weddings.

There are 2 newly built seasonal staff accommodations including one made out of seacans that opened in 2020 which has a 1200 sq. ft event room.
