Grouse Mountain

What to expect

A gondola to the mountain top, with grizzly bears in the refuge.

Distance from port

10.3 km

Approximate straight-line distance from Canada Place cruise terminal to the mapped mountain point, not the lower gondola station, calculated from mapped coordinates. This is not walking or driving distance; actual routes, entrances and terminal exits vary.

Cost

High

Published standard adult (19–64) Mountain Admission is CAD 89, including round-trip Skyride or gondola and open included attractions. Confirm checkout total and optional activity charges.

Tourist-trap risk

Mixed

Editorial assessment: A paid mountain resort; included activities vary with season and weather, while some experiences cost extra.

Physical effort

Moderate

Rating covers a lift-assisted summit visit, not the Grouse Grind hike. Routes include steep or unpaved sections; snow and weather can alter access. Follow closures and allow time for the return lift.

Accessibility

Partly accessible

The official access map distinguishes paved easier routes from steeper unpaved routes; the chairlift is not wheelchair accessible. Winter access differs between gondola and Skyride; consult staff for a suitable route.

Distance is approximate and measured from the cruise port, not the airport. Cost and tourist-trap risk are editorial assessments. Accessibility depends on the route, transport and facilities described in the notes. Not assessed means details have not yet been verified.
