Snowcat Journey Through the Cascades Transforms Winter Travel into an Alpine Adventure


A new winter transportation experience is bringing comfort and adventure together on the stunning Cascade Lakes Highway. Aboard the brand new PistenBully 400 snowcat, guests can travel through snow-covered landscapes while enjoying a warm, safe, and scenic journey. Departing from Dutchman’s Flat Sno-Park near Mt. Bachelor, the ride offers a unique way to experience the beauty of Oregon’s winter wilderness.


The approximately one-hour trip to the resort provides passengers with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and forests from the comfort of a heated cabin. Designed with both travelers and their equipment in mind, the snowcat offers spacious seating and convenient storage, ensuring a comfortable journey even in the heart of the winter season.


Upon arrival, visitors can enjoy a relaxing alpine retreat surrounded by pristine snowy scenery. Guests may choose to warm up with a delicious hot lunch at the lodge or continue their outdoor adventure by exploring the peaceful surroundings. The resort provides the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the magic of the mountains.


The winter experience extends beyond transportation, with opportunities for snowshoeing through quiet forests and cross-country skiing across frozen landscapes. By combining scenic travel, outdoor exploration, and cozy mountain hospitality, the snowcat journey transforms a simple transfer into an unforgettable adventure through the Cascade winter wonderland.

We had Christmas Eve dinner at the resort. The food was spectactular! It's a beautiful location and a very cosy lodge. Their snowcat transport in and out was also very convenient. Highly recommended!

Snowcat ride to lodge. What a great way to spend a day! We booked the snowcat ride to the lodge and back and had a great time. The snowcat is brand new. Like immaculate inside. The seats were comfortable and the cabin was warm. You could control the temp if it got too hot by opening the skylight. The ride down and back took about 1.25 hrs and there were stops along the way to look at the views. At the lodge there was a full bar and restaurant serving drinks and hot chocolate. We walked around the property and lake on some groomed trails and then came back to the lodge lunch. I had the elk burger and the other people had the club sandwiches. The food and service was excellent. There were other guests there with snowmobiles that would come and go. It's super peaceful and quiet. We even saw a black fox. I would highly recommend this place. The new owners and entire staff are super nice and have remodeled the lodge and updated the vibe. This is a do not miss attraction for the city for locals and visitors from out of town looking for a backcountry snow experience without the stress.

Really enjoyed our stay at Elk Lake Resort. Cabin #26 was a fantastic fit for me and my 7 friends. The two small maintenance issues we had were dealt with quickly. Pizza and ice cream were delicious. Renovations are being done by new owners and I can't wait to go back. Lake is clear and while we had paddle boards, rentals are available. It was fun renting and taking out the pontoon boat. Highly recommend staying at Elk Lake Resort.
