Whistler
The village of Whistler is located at the foot of two alpine giants: Whistler mountain and Blackcomb mountain. Over 1,500 meters they rise above Whistler, menacing and inviting at the same time. The place gets its name from the whistling sound of marmots, who live at higher altitudes. Who knew Whistler before the 2010 Winter Olympics? In a short time the village grew into a well-equipped base for winter sports and for numerous summer activities. However, the atmosphere has remained remarkably friendly.
PEAK 2 PEAK
Do you look up to a long walk in this area with considerable elevation differences? Do you find ziplining or mountain biking too challenging? Even so, you can enjoy majestic views on the Peak2Peak gondola cruise. You will cover the 4.4 kilometres between the two peaks in a gondola that offers unse free views all around. At dizzying altitude you glide over treetops and valleys, in the distance are snow-capped peaks almost at eye level. A spectacular experience!
