Built by Swiss-born mountain guides using stone from the surrounding mountains in 1922, the Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin National Historic Site is administered by Parks Canada and was operated by the Alpine Club of Canada. The Hut was closed to visitors in 2018 due to the erosion of the slope beneath the hut. Despite extensive slope stabilization work, erosion continued and in 2021 began impacting the foundation of the building. On June 30, 2022 Parks Canada completed the substantial removal of the Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin. Construit en 1922 par des guides suisses à partir de pierres extraites des montagnes environnantes, le refuge du Col-Abbot, aujourd’hui classé lieu historique national, est administré par Parcs Canada et était exploité par le Club alpin du Canada. Le refuge a été fermé au public en 2018 en raison de l’érosion de la pente sur laquelle il a été construit. Malgré d’importants travaux de stabilisation, la pente a continué de s’éroder et, en 2021, a commencé à menacer les fondations du bâtiment. Le 30 juin 2022, Parcs Canada a terminé l’enlèvement substantiel du refuge du Col-Abbot. Source: Parks Canada Website (2022) |
