Access, Parking Alta

The ski resort of Alta in the state of Utah is situated south east of Salt Lake City in the Wasatch Mountains. The ski resort is just 40 minutes or so from Salt Lake City. The journey takes you over a mountain road through the Little Cottonwood Canyon. Alta is located at the end of the canyon, after the Snowbird ski resort.

Administrative directives apply for winter driving conditions (UDOT Traction Law: rules for snow chains, winter tyres and/or four-wheel drive). The road can be closed at times due to avalanche risk.

Parking is available at the Wildcat and Albion base stations as well as along the road between the two base stations. Wildcat base is the main entry point. Albion base is the entry point for beginners, the ski school and childcare. At weekends and during holidays, parking spaces must be reserved and paid for to avoid overcrowding.
