Here are directions from Vancouver Airport
for those who are flying in to Vancouver:
From
Vancouver Airport & Downtown
Leaving Vancouver International Airport, head north on Granville
Street, over the Arthur Lang Bridge, and follow the signs
for the Granville Street Bridge leading into downtown Vancouver.
Take the Seymour Street exit on the far right hand-side off
the bridge, continuing on until Georgia Street, where drivers
for Whistler turn left. Travel out of downtown Vancouver on
Georgia, through Stanley Park and over the Lions Gate bridge.
Exit via the Marine Drive West turnoff, take a right onto
Taylor Way, and then turn left onto Highway 1 West, heading
north towards Horseshoe Bay. Exit right onto Hwy 99 to continue
onto Whistler. Approximately a 2 hour
drive.
Seattle
to Whistler
Driving Directions
- - Distance:
approx. 340 kilometres or 215 miles
Whistler is about a 4 to 5-hour drive from Seattle. The trip
from Seattle to Vancouver takes about 3 hours. The Vancouver-Whistler
drive takes about 2 hours, depending on road and traffic conditions.
Time saver at the border -
Entering the town of Blaine just before the Canadian border
will be a sign for truckers that leads to the truck crossing.
Follow that sign and cross the border with the trucks. It is
much faster and leads to Canadian Highway 15 that goes straight
north and intercepts TransCanada Highway 1. Turn west on One
and stay on it until Horseshoe Bay where it becomes Highway
99. Continue on to Whistler.
When
coming into Whistler, go past Village Gate Blvd to the next
major intersection, which is Lorimer Road. Make a right onto
Lorimer. Keep going until you have to go either right or left,
this is Blackcomb Way (the 2nd one). Make a left onto Blackcomb
Way. You'll pass construction, and at the next intersection
(may not be a sign) is Spearhead Drive. Make a right. Continue
up past the Aspens, then you'll see a sign for Greystone Lodge
and Woodrun Lodge. Make that right. Go to the Woodrun and check
in if before 7 pm. If after 7 pm, see check in instructions.
