Ground Transfers:

Getting to Whistler has never been easier! If you

http://www.whistlerglaciergroup.com/whistler-blackcomb-bc/olympicpark.html

have been coming to Whistler for the past several years you will know that the Sea to Sky Highway has completed the $600 Million upgrade! Yippee! Driving time from Vancouver to Whistler is just 90 minutes.

To help you navigate the highway this coming season Whistler Glacier Group is our official Ground Transportation provider and they will be able to assist you with all your transfer needs from Vancouver or from the Airport and beyond. We do recommend taking either a shuttle or private transfer rather than bringing your personal vehicle to the resort. You can sit back and relax and enjoy the breath-taking scenery so you arrive fresh and ready for all your exciting adventures. Plus it is a great way to meet some of your fellow Pride adventurers as well!

Dogsled tour $175/person - based on 2 people sharing one sled.
