Getting Here and Getting Around
Bear Valley is an iconic mountain destination in the Stanislaus National Forest. Due to our remote location and distance from bigger cities, a personal vehicle is highly recommended. Bear Valley offers an employee shuttle during winter operations with stops in Avery, Arnold, Dorrington, Camp Connell, and Bear Valley. Calaveras Transit offers public transportation between Arnold and outlying areas like Murphys, Angels Camp, and Sonora. There is currently no public transportation available between Arnold and Bear Valley.
For Fun
What else is there to do at BV? Bear Valley is a small alpine village offering restaurants and pubs, a general store, sports shop, and snowmobile center. During the winter months, most activities around the village are geared toward snow sports, whether cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or snowmobiling. Sparkling lakes to swim, fish, & boat, close access to hiking trails including the Pacific Crest Trail, rock climbing, and bicycling make Bear Valley the ultimate summer getaway. Although Bear Valley does not offer up the same nightlife opportunities as Lake Tahoe (like casinos or large nightclubs), Bear Valley’s local population is sure to keep you entertained. Often live music or movie nights in the Village pubs, a monthly book club meets at the local library, there are weekly yoga classes, and there are often daytime activities happening at the mountain. Within just over an hour’s drive are world-class golf courses, wine tasting, movie theaters, bowling alleys, and Casinos. Throughout the season Bear Valley also offers destination trips to places like Lake Tahoe and Yosemite.
