How do I get from the Peruvian Acres private homes to Alta and Snowbird? The Peruvian Acres private homes are located very close to where the Bypass Road rejoins the State Highway 210 (the main road), below the Alta Peruvian Lodge. The Nicholson Chalet, the Black Bear Chalet and the Fort House are on the upper side of these neighborhoods and The Cabin and The Manley Cabin are on the lower side of the neighborhood.
To get to Alta from these homes, you have a couple of easy options. You can walk to the Alta Peruvian Lodge and from there ski across the cat track over to the lifts. You can also jump on the free Alta Resort Shuttle which makes a continuous loop of the Bypass Road during daytime hours. The shuttle runs continuously during the day. It will typically take just a few minutes to get up to the Collins or Sunnyside base areas at Alta. After skiing, you can utilize this same shuttle to bring you back to the property or you can ski home from Alta as well by accessing the Wildcat Access area and crossing the snowbridge back to the Peruvian Acres neighborhoods. You will need to walk across the Bypass Road to get to the Manley or The Cabin. Check out our Aerial Overview Video (https://www.altachalets.com/explore-alta-snowbird/alta-snowbird-aerial-overview/).
To get to Snowbird from these homes, when you start your ski day, the easiest thing to do would be to jump back on the Alta Resort Shuttle and head in the opposite direction (towards Snowbird) and get off at the very last stop on the loop: The View Condominiums. From there you would ski down to Snowbird via an intermediate ski trail. To get back to the home at the end of the day from Snowbird, just end your ski day at the Whodunnit run and jump back onboard the Alta Resort Shuttle from there.
Special Notes:
As with any of the runs at Alta and Snowbird, access is based on the current conditions.
The Alta Resort Shuttle service runs during the daytime hours, typically 8:30am to 5pm.
