Getting Here

The journey to Whitewater is almost as good as the destination itself.

Whitewater Ski Resort is located 22 km south of the city of Nelson. Head south out of Nelson along Highway 6 for approximately 12 km until you see the sign for Whitewater Ski Resort. Turn left and head up the mountain for another 10 km. Be prepared to lose cell service & wifi; it's time to reconnect with nature and those around you.
