Public Transportation
There are a number of coach bus options to get you from the Airport or downtown Vancouver to Whistler:
Plane
More commercial airlines than ever are flying into Vancouver International Airport every day, with express airport shuttles departing frequently and delivering you right to Whistler. If you prefer to fly into Whistler from the airport, helicopters and float planes provide direct service to the resort (weather dependent). You may also choose to rent a car or hire a chartered vehicle. Please visit Tourism Whistler for more information.
Train
Take the train and discover the dramatic beauty of the mountains and ocean from a unique perspective. The Amtrak Cascades train provides service from Seattle or Oregon to Vancouver, with the final leg to Whistler completed by bus. Amtrak Cascades trains feature a special technology that uses gravity to tilt through curves, ensuring the smoothest ride possible. They are built for speed and comfort, travelling at top speed of 79 mph (127 km/hour). Visit Tourism Whistler for more information.
