Whatever time of year you visit, you'll find something to pique your interest. Spend warm summer days on a beautiful beach by a cool, clear mountain lake, or go skiing, (both downhill and cross-country) in the colder months. And throughout the year you can always rely on Whistler's famous and award-winning cuisine!

Highlights

Both mountains are linked by the Peak 2 Peak Gondola which is an 11 minute breathtaking ride. That means you no longer have to decide which mountain to spend your day on.

Related activities

Whether you're a well travelled road biker, a seasoned mountain biker or someone who just loves riding their bike and taking in the scenery - Whistler and its 40km of trails is the place to ride.

Getting there

The travel time from Vancouver International Airport to Whistler is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours drive along the beautiful and very scenic Sea to Sky highway.
