⚠️ Warning ⚠️ – We’re now in high season. Lines for the gondola are long, and you’ll likely have to wait several trips to get up – avoid this by booking Grouse Mountain tickets in advance with no money down.

Take a Grouse-Capilano combo tour.
Here, you get taken aboard a modern bus, and the price difference is negligible – you’re essentially paying a few extra dollars for your tour guide.
