Do you need a car at Blue Mountain?
For most stays, yes. From our chalets you can walk to the ski hills in 7 to 10 minutes and to Blue Mountain Village in 10 to 20, so the car can stay parked once you arrive. But there is very little public transit here, and you will want a car for groceries, our private beach and Collingwood. Every chalet has its own free parking.
What you can do on foot
Skiing, the Village’s restaurants and shops, and the resort’s activities are all within a walk of the chalets: see how far the chalets are from the Village and the lifts. Apartment #B2 is ski-in, ski-out, with a lift across the street, and #B1 is about 150 metres from the lifts.
What you will want a car for
| Trip | How far |
|---|---|
| Groceries in Collingwood | about 10 km, 15 minutes |
| Our private beach on Georgian Bay | a 5 to 7 minute drive |
| Northwinds public beach | about 2.5 km |
| Thornbury | about 14 km, 16 minutes |
The kitchens are fully equipped but not stocked with food, so most groups shop on the way up or in Collingwood on the first evening.
Parking
Each chalet has its own free parking; chalet #54 has room for 8 vehicles. The town does not allow parking on the street, so if your group has more cars than your chalet holds, ask at the office before you arrive. Carpooling from the city is worth it.
Coming without a car
It can be done, with planning. Blue Mountain Resort lists a FlixBus service from Toronto Pearson Airport and Union Station as a summer service, and says no resort shuttles are operating at this time, so check its site for the current season. Local taxis serve the area. Without a car, choose a chalet close to the lifts and bring your groceries with you.
