SHUTTLES & PARKING
Grand Targhee Resort is committed to providing a safe and healthy experience this winter. There will be three shuttles running every hour from Driggs to the Resort. There will also be one dedicated shuttle that will run between Victor and Driggs.
Our new parking lot is ready for this winter. This new lot will increase parking capacity by 30%. With this new lot, the resort is implementing a new flow throughout the lots and dedicating a small area for paid parking. The first few rows and most of the back part of the upper lot will remain free and first-come, first served. Our goal is to park cars more efficiently this winter, alleviating the congestion entering the resort and making riding the shuttle more reliable.
We will be providing dedicated parking lot shuttles that will service the farther out lots throughout the day with dedicated shuttle stops. We have made the decision to designate some of the parking rows as paid parking. Paid parking will be $10 on weekdays and $20 on weekends and holidays. As always, we encourage the use of the free in-town shuttle.
- The shuttle is complimentary to all guests visiting Grand Targhee Resort
- Face coverings are required when riding the shuttle
- No open containers on the shuttle
Electronic signage is stationed in Driggs and Alta. These signs are updated regularly on busier days with parking information.
We have secured the necessary approvals to restrict access to Ski Hill Road when parking is at or near capacity. The shuttle will be your best option as it won’t be restricted if the road is being managed.
