Peak2Peak Gondola

Stretching between Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain, the Peak2Peak Gondola is the longest continuous lift in the world, also holding the record for the longest span between towers, at 3.02 kilometres. Originally built to transport skiers more easily between the two mountains, it is now an all-year-round attraction, offering transportation in summer to walkers and mountain bikers who make good use of the extensive trails on the mountains. The 360-degree views, however, are spectacular at any time of the year, with the glaciers and snow-capped peaks of the Fitzsimmons Range glistening all around. Additionally, in summer, you can marvel at the colourful wildflower meadows in the valley below, and in autumn, observe the gently changing colour of the trees. Your ticket includes the lifts up to the top of either Whistler or Blackcomb Mountain and the Peak2Peak between the two. At the top, you will find an interpretive centre along with a café and restrooms, and if you are feeling energetic, do allow time for a stroll once you're there.

Twilight Wildlife Canoe Trip

The watercourse which flows between Alta Lake and Green Lake just outside Whistler is known as the River of Golden Dreams, a scenic stretch of lush, old-growth forest and wildflower lined banks surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. At twilight the river comes alive with birds and animals moving around in the early evening light and this is a lovely time of day to take a gentle paddle along the waterway. Keep an eye out for black bears, otters, beavers, raccoons, eagles and osprey, and enjoy the golden glow of the sunset against the surrounding snow-capped peaks.

Zipline Adventure

This is the original Whistler zip-lining experience – a two-and-a-half hour adventure which takes you high over Fitzsimmons Creek and amongst old-growth rainforest close to Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. This tour features five ziplines and four treetop bridges and whilst exhilarating is suitable for families or anyone who hasn’t zip-lined before. You guide will ensure you safely negotiate the course as well as share interesting facts about the environment and point out the best views and any wildlife that might be passing above or below.

Whistler - Ideas for Free Time

You don’t have to search too hard to find things to do here — activities abound in every corner of this lively town. For adventure enthusiasts, there’s a wide range of options: mountain biking, ziplining, white-water rafting, tubing, paragliding, and ATV or 4WD tours, to name just a few. If you prefer to explore on foot, the surrounding mountains offer numerous walking trails, and the Peak 2 Peak Gondola provides a thrilling ride to dizzying heights with spectacular views. If you have time, a couple of cultural attractions are well worth a visit. The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre was the first centre dedicated to the history and culture of the local Indigenous peoples. It highlights two distinct First Nations groups—one coastal and one inland—offering a fascinating insight into their unique traditions and ways of life. Meanwhile, the Whistler Museum gives an overview of the modern-day development of this bustling resort, including its evolution into a snow sports hub. It features exhibits on the 2010 Olympics and historical imagery of people enjoying the slopes here.

Helicopter Adventures in Whistler

Exploring Whistler from the sky offers an unforgettable perspective of its stunning natural beauty. Helicopter tours in this region provide extraordinary bird’s-eye views of the iconic Whistler-Blackcomb Resort, the breathtaking Cheakamus Glacier, and the striking landscapes of Garibaldi Provincial Park. These flights allow you to witness the grandeur of British Columbia’s wilderness in a way that simply can’t be matched from the ground. One of the highlights of these tours is the opportunity for a mountain landing (weather permitting), where you can step out of the helicopter and take in the awe-inspiring scenery from a remote mountaintop. Mountain landings are a complimentary add-on, and while the flight time remains the same, this bonus experience is entirely dependent on weather conditions. The tour operator will contact guests on days with poor weather to discuss alternative options, ensuring your adventure remains as enjoyable as possible. For those who want to take the experience a step further, heli-hiking offers a thrilling combination of flying and trekking. Whistler’s helicopter excursions provide access to some of the most incredible hiking terrains in the world, spread across eight distinct mountain regions in Southwest British Columbia. Whether you’re seeking an easy trek with jaw-dropping views or a more challenging hike that makes the most of your head start on the elevation, professionally certified guides will tailor the experience to your ability level and personal goals.
