Hagensborg

Hagensborg, originally named Kristiania,[1] is a unincorporated community in the Bella Coola Valley in British Columbia, Canada.

[2][3] The Bella Coola Valley was inhabited by the Nuxálk people when European explorers arrived, first of them being Sir Alexander Mackenzie, who still to this day has a lasting presence in the community.

In order to access the Bella Coola Valley via Highway 20, a portion of the called Heckman Pass (also known as "The Hill" or "The Precipice") must be traversed.

The Bella Coola Airport is located in Hagensborg, and is served by Pacific Coastal Airlines who makes daily flights in and out from Vancouver and Anahim Lake.

As such, it provides some services, such as the airport, ambulance station, cemetery, post office, swimming pool (summer only), Royal Canadian Legion hall and some accommodation and retail that serve the entire Valley.
