arrival planning

Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.

Kamloops Airport (YKA) is the nearest gateway; plan roughly 45–60 minutes for the road transfer in ordinary conditions. The resort lists airport shuttle and private-transfer options. Kelowna is a longer-transfer alternative.

Sun Peaks’ pedestrian village makes a car-free stay worth considering. Compare the transfer drop-off with your lodging and grocery plans, and leave extra time for the mountain-road portion of the journey.

Cahilty Hotel & Suites

hotel · Ski-in/ski-out at Sun Peaks; consult the lodge’s access maps

Match the unit to your group: hotel rooms keep the setup simple, while kitchens, separate bedrooms and loft layouts give families more options. After skiing, use the indoor or outdoor hot tub and the room-key-access equipment storage; check your unit’s bedding, capacity and kitchen inventory before booking.

Parking costs extra and spaces are first come, first served. The underground garage has a 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in) height limit, with limited outdoor spaces for larger vehicles. Dogs require a designated dog-friendly unit and a daily fee.

OVERNIGHT STAYS & CAMPERVANS

Sun Peaks offers reserved winter RV sites in P5. Plan for a self-contained vehicle: the resort lists no hookups or sani-dump, and showers are not included.

Reserve the site before travelling and check the current vehicle and stay requirements. A village room or suite is an alternative if you need full indoor facilities.

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