Meeting Your Driver and Starting the Journey

Your private transfer begins the moment you meet your driver at Kelowna International Airport (YLW). From there, your journey to Red Mountain Resort covers a distance of approximately 160 miles and typically takes around 3 hours and 30 minutes without major stops.

The Scenic Route

The route primarily follows BC-97 South through the scenic Okanagan wine region before connecting to the historic BC-3 West, also known as the Crowsnest Highway. This leg of the trip is where the true mountain adventure begins, as the highway takes you over the Monashee Mountains via the Blueberry-Paulson Summit. This high-elevation pass is known for its incredible winter scenery and requires skilled driving – a task our professional drivers are fully prepared for.

Towns Along the Way

The route passes near the town of Osoyoos before continuing through Grand Forks on its way to Rossland, the charming town at the base of Red Mountain.

Kelowna (YLW) – Red Mountain

The main challenge is the Blueberry-Paulson section of the Crowsnest Highway (BC-3), which can experience heavy snowfall, ice, and reduced visibility. The province of British Columbia requires all vehicles to have winter tires from October 1 to April 30 on this route. Our professional drivers are experienced in these conditions, and our vehicles are properly equipped for winter safety.

Absolutely. Our private vehicles have ample storage for luggage and ski/snowboard equipment. When booking, please specify the number of ski or snowboard bags you’ll be traveling with so we can ensure the appropriate vehicle is assigned for your transfer.

Rocks2Rocks specializes in private transfers to provide the fastest and most convenient service. While there is no scheduled bus Kelowna Airport to Red Mountain, a private van is an affordable and efficient alternative for groups, often costing less per person than separate tickets on a shared service.

Yes, one of the benefits of a private transfer is its flexibility. We can accommodate a brief, pre-arranged stop for groceries or other necessities in towns like Osoyoos or Grand Forks. Please request this at the time of booking so we can factor it into your travel schedule.

Renting a car means dealing with potential lines, ensuring your vehicle has proper winter tires, and self-navigating a challenging mountain highway after a flight. A private transfer with Rocks2Rocks eliminates all that stress. You can relax while a professional, local driver handles the winter conditions, allowing you to arrive at Red Mountain refreshed and ready to ski.

Yes, safety is our top priority. We can provide age-appropriate child and booster seats upon request. Please let us know the ages of any children traveling in your party when you make your reservation.
