Castlegar is a magical place to visit any time of year. There are extra considerations when travelling in the winter though. Take your time driving mountain passes, for example, and if there are snow-laden clouds in the forecast, they can sometimes hamper arrival times at the West Kootenay Regional Airport in Castlegar. A shuttle service is available from the airport via West Kootenay Adventure Tours and you can find more travel tips on our “How To Get Here” page.
