Getting here & around
Whistler is about 120 km north of Vancouver — roughly a two-hour drive up the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
🚗 Driving the Sea-to-Sky
Highway 99 runs from Vancouver past Squamish to Whistler, with ocean and mountain views the whole way. Allow extra time on Friday evenings, Sunday afternoons and powder days.
Minor roadwork Live road conditions →
Winter tires (M+S or mountain snowflake) are required on Highway 99 from October 1 to March 31. Carry chains if you have them and check DriveBC before you leave.
🚌 Shuttles & buses
No car? Scheduled coaches run from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and downtown Vancouver straight to Whistler Village.

🚏 Getting around Whistler
The village is pedestrian-only and compact. Local BC Transit buses connect it with Creekside, Function Junction and the neighbourhoods, and the Valley Trail is great for walking and biking.
