Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Transportation & Lodging Options

Also known as the “Champagne Powder Capital of Canada™”, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort provides one of the most exhilarating skiing experiences to be found anywhere in BC. Located just under 300 km west of Calgary International Airport in the picturesque town of Golden, Kicking Horse is the ultimate playground for winter enthusiasts.

Transportation to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort

Visitors from around the world fly to Calgary Airport for travel to their Alberta ski vacations. For this reason, ground transportation is hired for the 3+-hour drive to Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

Private chauffeured transportation is highly recommended because it provides the safest and most comfortable travel experience from Calgary Airport to Kicking Horse. While ‘cheap’ standard shuttles may be available, they run on limited schedules. Therefore, passengers are often stuck waiting for a ride. Additionally, regular shuttles are shared rides. In other words, you’ll likely be riding with strangers. For this reason, you can also expect delays and frequent stops for others who are boarding and disembarking the vehicle.

With a private car, SUV, or mini-bus shuttle service, you’ll travel in luxury & privacy with no extra stops. Additionally, you can expect a more well-maintained, immaculate vehicle than those offered with traditional airport shuttles or car rentals.

The most important reason for hiring private hired transportation is that you can ride with greater confidence. This is because you know your driver will be experienced and background-checked for a clean safety record.

Harsh winter conditions during the trip to Kicking Horse often cause road closures or hazards such as black ice or fallen objects. For this reason, your driver should be someone who knows the area's roadways well. Furthermore, your driver should be specially trained to safely navigate harsh weather conditions.
