Getting to Whitewater

Getting to Whitewater

Flying into Spokane International Airport is your best bet when traveling to Whitewater. Both convenient and affordable, the airport is about 142 miles (237 km) away from the resort and there’s plenty of ground transportation options out of Spokane, including shuttles and rideshares. Most of the lodging options are located in Nelson, B.C, which is only about 13 miles (22 km) from the resort, so you’ll want to head to the quaint mining town first upon arrival. Some of the lodging options recommend having a car to get to and from the town and resort.
