Leave The Car Behind: Why Whistler Is The Best Place To Be Car Free

Planning a trip to Whistler but worried about getting around without a car? Don’t fret! Whistler is exceptionally well-equipped for car-free travellers, with convenient transportation options that make exploring this mountain paradise easy and enjoyable. Here’s how you can make the most of your Whistler adventure without the hassle of driving.

Buses from Vancouver to Whistler

One of the easiest ways to get to Whistler from Vancouver is by taking a bus. Several bus services operate between Vancouver and Whistler, offering a comfortable and scenic ride along the Sea-to-Sky Highway. Whether you’re arriving at Vancouver International Airport or starting your journey from downtown Vancouver, you can hop on a bus and relax as you’re transported to the heart of Whistler.

Skylynx or Epic Rides are two fantastic companies that operate to and from Whistler daily.

Village Gate House: Your Convenient Hub

If you’re staying at Whiski Jack Resorts’ Village Gate House rental, you’re in luck. This prime location is right near the Village Gateway Loop, where buses from Vancouver drop off passengers. This means you can step off the bus and be just a short walk away from your accommodation, making your arrival and departure seamless and stress-free.

Whistler’s Valley Trail: Your Scenic Highway

Once you’re in Whistler, the only highway you’ll need is the Valley Trail. This extensive network of paved pathways connects all the major points in Whistler, including Whistler Village, Creekside Village, and various parks and lakes. It’s perfect for walking, biking, or even rollerblading. The Valley Trail allows you to experience Whistler’s stunning natural beauty.

Biking: The Best Way to Explore

Biking is one of the best ways to get around Whistler, and you have options whether you bring your own bike or use Whistler bike share program. Whistler Village has many bike rental companies to choose from including Black Diamond Bike Rentals, which offer a discount code to Whiski Jack Resort guests! 

BCAA’s Evolve E-Bike Share also offers e-bikes to help you get around easily. You can find bikes on the Evo App

Riding along the Valley Trail, you’ll have easy access to all the key attractions, and you can park your bike at numerous bike racks around the village.

The Challenge of Parking

During peak season, parking in Whistler can be both expensive and hard to find. Avoid the hassle and expense of parking by utilizing the convenient transportation options available. Public parking lots fill up quickly, and the fees can add up, making it more practical to use alternative modes of transportation.

This means you’re always within walking or biking distance of shops, restaurants, and entertainment.
