A small town with big mountain scenery.
Downtown Revelstoke is small and walkable. In the summer, a bike is recommended to get you anywhere in town. Rentals are available.
The Revelstoke Public Transit Service provides bus service every day. Local taxi service is also available.
Parking.
Spring, Summer & Fall
Ditch the car at your accommodation and opt to bike or walk. With bike racks scattered throughout downtown, you'll notice quite quickly that Revelstoke's residents choose to bike everywhere during the non-snow months.
For those with motorhomes or trailers, Victoria Ave has dedicated parking on the west-flowing side of the road (closest to the train tracks). This is the ONLY RV and large vehicle parking in Revelstoke's downtown. If coming from the opposite direction, don't worry, there is a traffic circle that will allow you to safely turn around.
Winter
It's like chess, strategic parking moves are a must. Lots of snow means lots of snow plowing. The City of Revelstoke requires vehicles to be moved every 24 hours. This gives the plows a chance to clear the area. Plan on hitting the town for apres? Leave the car at your accommodation and not downtown. There are signs throughout downtown listing overnight No Parking time zones

The Resort Shuttle.
Get to the mountain without a car. BC Transit operates a daily resort shuttle route with frequent and on-time stops within Revelstoke. The bus can also be used to travel around town efficiently.
You can either purchase a bus pass ahead of time or pay for a one-way fare directly on the bus. Please bring exact cash as the drivers do not carry change. Each ride is $2 (drivers do not handle cash or make change; please ensure you have exact change).
Many accommodations offer complimentary ski shuttle passes throughout the winter; be sure to ask at your hotel's front desk.
