Arrive Early
Revelstoke Mountain Resort is the place to be on a summer day. Avoid the rush and arrive ahead of time. Secure convenient parking and give yourself time to explore all there is to do at the mountain.
The Pipe Mountain Coaster is a favourite among visitors. On busy days, wait times can exceed an hour; we suggest arriving early to avoid long wait times.
Visit on a weekday
If you are considering adding the resort to your summer vacation plans, we recommend a weekday visit. Weekends see increased visitation, coming during the week could mean shorter wait times and more time for fun!

Sit back, relax, and avoid the hassle of parking with our convenient transit system. For just $2, you can be dropped off directly at the resort village. The shuttle makes stops throughout the town of Revelstoke and at various hotels, providing the ultimate convenience for all visitors. Whether you're staying in town or at a nearby hotel, the shuttle ensures you have easy and stress-free access to all the resort's amenities and activities.
Come prepared for a full day of fun
- Dress Appropriately: The weather can change quickly in the mountains, so be sure to dress in layers, bring a jacket and wear a hat to protect against the elements.
- Stay Hydrated: With all the activities, it’s easy to forget to stop for a drink. Bring a reusable water bottle and fill up at our drink stations located at the gondola, mid station, and Mackenzie Outpost.
