Sun Peaks has seen real development in the last year or two and has earned the nickname 'little Whistler' - the village certainly has a similar flavour. The excellent new accommodation in Sun Peaks - in particular the Delta Sun Peaks Resort - means that you can stay in very high quality accommodation, not often found outside Whistler, for the whole of your stay.
Whistler and Sun Peaks are linked by a spectacular journey along Duffey Lake Road. If you are driving the journey can be done in around 4 - 5 hours, but it is worth taking it leisurely and spending the day stopping off when you feel like it to admire the views along the way. However, there is a shuttle between the two resorts - it runs in both directions on sundays, tuesdays and fridays. From Sun Peaks it is about a 6 hour drive back to Vancouver, although if you use transfers to get between Whistler and Sun Peaks you can fly from Kamloops to Vancouver or vice versa. We recommend a minimum of 5 nights in each resort plus a night or two in Vancouver.
