Getting around Silver Star

  • The complimentary winter shuttle connects the village with in-resort lodging areas. Use its live tracker and allow extra time when buses are full or snow slows the route.

OVERNIGHT STAYS & CAMPERVANS

A booked village stay puts accommodation and mountain access together. For day parking, use the resort’s arrival information and posted directions; the destination’s winter shuttle links the village with in-resort lodging areas.

If arriving in a camper, arrange a designated overnight property separately. Confirm vehicle access and the facilities for your dates; do not assume a day-use lot provides an overnight site.

Compare lodging options ↗

Book a designated overnight place for your vehicle and dates. Day parking does not provide permission to camp.
