The Sea to Sky Gondola opened to the public in 2014; a 25 million dollar project said to increase tourism and business in Squamish. This project aligned with the city’s theme as the “outdoor recreation capital of Canada” and it was determined the that environmental impact would be minimal.
Tickets are a little bit pricey (even mores when you wait until you arrive on site to purchase), but a day at the gondola is always a good day. Locals or those who plan to make multiple visits throughout the year should consider an annual pass - that’s what we did! It’s the cost of 2.5 visits and very much worth it given the variety of activities and events offered. Annual pass holders also receive special perks and discounts on merchandise, extra tickets for friends and food - bonus!
The adventure begins with a thrilling 10 minute ride up to the main chalet, sitting at 885m above sea level. Each gondola features a level entry/ exit, making it stroller and wheelchair accessible. The floor to ceiling glass allows for amazing views of Shannon Falls, the iconic Stawamus Chief and the mountains surrounding Howe Sound. Once you reach the top - adventure is endless! This attraction is multi-seasonal and there’s something to do at any time of year. You’ll have access to many outdoor experiences, including the suspension bridge (which is 100m long!), two interpretive walking trails, viewing platforms with spectacular views, hiking/ snow shoeing trails, tubing, rock climbing, backcountry routes and much more! For the purposes of this video, I’m going to focus on winter activities, but stay tuned for a summer version later on this year!
Winter brings a ton of precipitation to the West Coast mountains given its moderate coastal climate. Temperatures usually hover around 3C and an average of 235cm falls, per year! There’s usually a lot of rain at sea level, but also big powder days in the mountains, offering many fun ways to enjoy the outdoors. A day at the Sea to Sky gondola is a great way to explore some of those activities!
A ticket for tubing costs 5$, but make sure to come on Fun Friday’s - kids ride for free all day long!
Daily guided snow shoe tours are offered both in the early afternoon as well as at sunset. There’s always something going on at the gondola.
Make sure to check out the onsite restaurants in the summit lodge. Sky Pilot Eatery has a market style menu for casual dining with an assortment of soups chilis and more - perfect cozy meals to warm your belly after a day outside.
Co-Pilot Cafe serves up delicious handcrafted beverages and will satisfy all of your coffee and pastry cravings. Those who enjoy a good brew are in luck - the Edge Bar serves up your favourite craft beers from local Squamish breweries and an assortment of ciders and wines.
For those looking for a special souvenir to remember their experience, there’s plenty to choose from in the summit gift shop.
The hours of operation vary between seasons, but it runs daily from 9-5 during the winter months. For those planning a trip from Vancouver, the Squamish Connector offers round-trip shuttle service directly from downtown, but make sure to call ahead as this service needs to be arranged in advance.
There’s something for everyone at the Sea to Sky Gondola!
Thanks for watching! Your continued support means the world to me.

I love all of your videos but there was something I really liked about this one in particular ;)
LETS GO TUBINGGGGGGGG 😂
Amazing views! I must say I'm getting more and more impressed by Canada. 🇨🇦
She's quite pretty, isn't she? 🇨🇦
Thank you!
You're welcome!
thank you for sharing! looks incredible! can't wait to visit 🥰
Thanks for watching! Definitely add it to your bucket list ☺️
@@DameUntamed 💯🥰👌💪
Such a fun spot!! It is a nice reminder that there are so many fun things to do outdoors in the winter!!
Also when you were at the lookout with the pink on the ground I was worried you might loose your sunglasses of the edge hahaha 🤣🤣
Lmao, good thing I plan ahead and bring my $1.50 Dollarama sunnies on adventures like this... I've learned too many times the hard way. If they had fallen off, I would have bid them farewell and sent well wishes for their journey ahead 😂✌
Fun to see mister Stav in your videos 😊
Mr Stav is YT official 🥰
like and subscribed!! 😍😍This view is absolutely amazing!! I wish to go there with my family!!
Thanks for subscribing! 😌 I hope you get to visit someday!
Can’t wait for the summer version
It's sooo beautiful!
2025 I will move to Canada because Canada is my dream country . when I was kid I was watching drama the Road to Avonlea. it was one of my favourite all the times I will never forget
Hello Nekon, I hope one day you can make this dream come true. Canada is a beautiful country. Road to Avonlea was a classic show ☺
It doesn't look busy when you were there. What month and time did you go? We want to go at 10am on a Tuesday during March Break but afraid the mornings will be the coldest lol. But any other time would be hard to fit into our itinerary.
Hope you made it there :) We were there mid day in January.
For anyone watching this who doesn't want to pay for the gondola, you can also hike up
Good point! Thanks Thomas. That Sea to Summit hike is a doozy! I did it last summer. Definitely feels like an accomplishment to get up there via the hike ☺️
