Directions to the Other Side of Whistler

Access British Columbia’s largest wilderness playground just minutes away from one of North America's Top Ski Resorts. The Callaghan is conveniently located along the world-famous sea to sky highway/Hwy. 99, only 15 minutes south of Whistler and 30 minutes north of Squamish. Nestled in the Callaghan valley, the area features deep powder and majestic alpine wilderness. 

By Car

From Vancouver, head north along the picturesque sea to sky highway. You’ll cruise alongside vast fjords and towering peaks. Drive past Squamish until you reach the Whistler Olympic Park and The Callaghan turn-off, climb 8.5k up to the top of the Callaghan Valley where you'll find our Entry sign directing you to the left over a bridge. 

The road to The Callaghan is extremely well maintained, but winter tires and AWD/4WD are encouraged. Please see drivebc for more info.
