City advice
Getting around
Schweitzer Bus is an easy way to head down to town
If you'd like to head into Sandpoint, there is a shuttle that will take you to the lower parking lot at the base of the mountain. Either leave a car parked down below or plan to take an Uber, because downtown Sandpoint is not within walking distance of the base of the mountain!
What to pack
Bring extra goggles for sun or fog
At Schweitzer we have both bluebird sunny days and foggy days - so bring appropriate goggles for both if you have them so you can enjoy all that our mountain has to offer!
