Sun Peaks to Kicking Horse: Scenic Private Shuttle Between BC Ski Resorts | Transfer | Shuttle

Q: What is included in baggage allowance?

Each passenger may bring one checked bag, one ski bag, one carry-on and one personal item—confirm sizes when booking.

Transfer between Sun Peaks Resort and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort cuts a long, scenic corridor across interior British Columbia, linking a high-plateau ski village near Kamloops with the alpine bowls above Golden. Peak Shuttles runs private and shared transfers that make the trip as simple as buckling in and watching the mountains roll by.

The drive threads through the Thompson Plateau, past river valleys and stands of lodgepole pine, then drops into deep, glaciated valleys of the Columbia and Selkirk ranges. From the window you’ll spot sheer rock faces, river canyons carved by spring melt, and winter cornices on high ridgelines—natural details that explain why both Sun Peaks and Kicking Horse are ski destinations. Luggage rules are straightforward: each passenger may bring one checked bag, one ski bag, one carry-on and one personal item, and child and infant seats are available on request.

A private transfer with Peak Shuttles removes the logistic friction of the long route: you’ll choose door-to-door pickup, flexible scheduling, and the privacy of your own vehicle. Shared options reduce cost without losing the essentials—safely strapped gear, a driver who knows mountain weather, and a modest grocery or liquor stop if requested. Note that bookings are not instant: you’ll receive an immediate receipt and an availability confirmation within 24 hours; if no space exists you get a full refund immediately.

Plan for roughly six hours on the road. Weather and traffic can nudge pickup times, so be ready fifteen minutes early for shared departures. Children under 10 must be supervised by someone over 16. If you’re carrying multiple pairs of skis or splitboards, pack them in labeled bags and confirm dimensions when you book.

Why this transfer is special: it stitches two distinct BC ski cultures—Sun Peaks’ compact village and high plateaus, and Kicking Horse’s steep faces and heli-access terrain—into a single trip without the hassle of multiple connections. For backcountry riders, it’s a bridge between different avalanche and snowpack regimes; for families it’s a single, reliable move from one resort base to another. Choosing a shuttle reduces the carbon and stress of multiple rental cars, keeps your kit intact, and lets you arrive ready to ski.

Insider tip: bring layers—mountain weather shifts quickly—and keep camera and snacks accessible. Peak Shuttles lists pricing by vehicle size (private up to 4 or up to 14) so choose the right fit for groups and gear. This transfer turns a long transit day into part of the adventure. Drivers are experienced with winter chains and mountain protocols; confirm any grocery stops at booking. Booking policies require a waiting period for availability confirmation, so plan your itinerary with that buffer and carry essential medications and reservation details for peace of mind.
