The PEAK 2 PEAK Experience
Building the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola was a major feat of engineering. Upon completion, it set world records as the longest continuous lift system and the highest gondola of its kind, soaring 436 meters above the valley floor. This gondola creates a seamless 13.5-kilometer loop, allowing guests to travel from the base of Whistler Mountain, across the valley, and down Blackcomb Mountain, all while taking in the spectacular scenery.
Hiking Trails and Alpine Adventures
The gondola grants access to both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, where over 50 kilometers of hiking trails await exploration. During the summer months, the Peak Express chairlift and the Cloudraker Skybridge offer additional thrilling experiences until mid-September. The suspension bridge is a must-see, offering panoramic views and an unforgettable experience high above the valley.
Summer Alpine Experience
For those visiting during the summer, it is recommended to upload via the Blackcomb Gondola, located in the Upper Village, a short walk from Whistler Village. This scenic route provides access to the vast summer alpine experience, where visitors can enjoy alpine hiking, mountain-top dining, and more. The special silver glass-bottom gondola offers another unique perspective, perfect for capturing memorable photos of the majestic landscape.
On-Mountain Dining and Activities
Once at the mountain top, the adventure continues with various dining options and activities. Guests can enjoy casual and full-service dining with stunning alpine views. For a more laid-back experience, grab-and-go food options are available, perfect for an alpine picnic.
