Set within one of the most spectacular ranges of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Whistler is easily accessible by car and is approximately two hours from Vancouver. In fact, your vacation in Whistler begins as you set out on your journey, with the Whistler Sea to Sky highway providing one of the most scenic and unique drives in the world. The 115km (70 mile) route will take you past the Howe Sound, Squamish Chief, Mount Garibaldi and the Tantulus Range as you weave along breathtaking mountain roads, through lush valleys, and past sleepy villages.
The journey from Vancouver airport takes just a little longer, at around 2.5 hours depending on traffic and weather conditions. Again, you will travel along the Whistler Sea to Sky highway (otherwise known as the BC-99) and Whistler is sign-posted for much of the journey. However, for more detailed instructions on the journey, use Google Maps to plan your route or print out a copy of our directions listed below:
