Travel Directions from Vancouver Airport to Whistler

From Vancouver International Airport follow directions for Highway 99 toward Vancouver and take the Granville Street exit. Stay on Granville Street for approximately 15 km's (20-25 minutes in light traffic) and continue on to the Granville Street Bridge into downtown Vancouver.

Take the "Seymour Street" exit off the bridge, and follow Seymour Street to Georgia Street. Turn left onto Georgia Street and soon pass through the world-renowned Stanley Park. At the end of the park, you will come upon one of the most recognizable landmarks in British Columbia, the historic Lions Gate Bridge, built in 1933.

Once over the bridge, follow the well-indicated signs leading you to Highway 99. The Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99) ranks as one of the most scenic roadways in the world. The spectacular sights make the 100 minute drive from the Lions Gate Bridge to Whistler Village will seem like mere minutes.

Sparkling Howe Sound to the left, dramatic cliff faces immediately to the right, and glacial peaks off in the distance will make it an unforgettable experience.
