Shuttle Service
The availability of a free village shuttle service is an important consideration when you’re deciding which mountain destination to visit, and one with which Compass Tours can assist you!
A village shuttle is defined as a bus service that runs within the village area, transporting guests from one part of the village area to another part of the village area (this is not the bus service that transports you from outlying areas or from other cities to the resort area).
Panorama Mountain Village has a small enough area not to need a shuttle service.
Whistler and Sun Peaks, however, have become fairly large and relatively spread-out, so guests do benefit from the free village shuttle service that is available.
The shuttle makes getting from a point near your accommodation into the main village and to the lift bases much easier, and removes the need for visitors to have a car in the resort at all!
Accommodations that are located on the free shuttle route are often much more reasonably priced than those that are ski in/ski out, or right in the main village. These units are usually more spacious, and quieter at night, too!
The extent of the shuttle service varies from season to season (in Whistler the shuttle runs most of the year, but with a much more extensive service in winter; and in Sun Peaks, the shuttle only runs during the winter months).
