Certainly one of Alberta's best-kept secrets, HI-Nordegg, Shunda Creek Hostel is a favourite for hikers, bikers and climbers. Located in the heart of David Thompson Country, this four-season destination provides the perfect setting for individuals, groups, and families seeking exceptional recreation opportunities. Guests can even try ice climbing on the "ice wall" in winter, created by the staff of the hostel.
