Enjoy The BC Wilderness Enroute to Clearwater
Alpine Meadows hosts guests from across Canada and the world. We are in a remote and exceptionally beautiful location just 50 minutes to Wells Gray Park, and visitors arrive by car or RV. Just be careful of the wildlife crossing the road! With a safe and well-designed highway system, we are a convenient drive from Vancouver, Kelowna, Jasper, Calgary, 100 Mile House, Spokane, and all points in-between.
Getting to Alpine Meadows
We are a small, remote resort and do not operate a 24-hour Front Desk. Guests who anticipate arriving after 6 PM should contact the resort in advance to make check in arrangements.
We’re sorry, we are unable to accommodate arrivals after 9 PM without notice. Dinner reservations may not be available for late arrivals to Alpine Meadows.
How to Get There
Alpine Meadows is delighted to welcome our guest from places near and far! The Resort is accessible by car or motorhome. Please note that we are located along a mountain pass in the BC wilderness; the road to reach us is only partially paved, and the neighboring wildlife can be unpredictable! We recommend planning to arrive during daylight hours, as well as giving yourself ample time to drive carefully and slowly (it’s a beautiful drive, you’ll want to enjoy it!). Please see below, or email us for detailed directions from your point of origin.
Please note: We do NOT recommend relying solely on GPS devices which can be unreliable in the area. Google Maps tends to be more accurate.
Late Check-In
If your travel plans lead you to arrive later than 6 pm, please contact us in advance to make check-in arrangements. Dinner reservations may not be available for late arrivals to Alpine Meadows.
Please Note: Late Check-In Accommodations
Travel Advisory
Due to spring road conditions and roadwork, the Clearwater route (see below) remains the preferred route for reaching us. The Barriere route, while open, is our least recommended route given its length and condition of the road.
