- Emily C2 contributionsPeak 2 Peak Gondola was fantastic and the views are amazing. Price is a little high, but that is to be expected with tourist attractions such as this.

- Li JTampa, FL28 contributionsAwesome spot for a day hike near Whistler or Vancouver. It's got stunning views and is totally worth the trip. Just a heads up, you'll need a free permit in advance during the high season. You can get it online starting at 7 am two days before your visitWritten 2 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NadgetasticCoulsdon, UK53 contributionsWhat an experience!
The ride itself may be over in 52 seconds but the whole hour leading up to it was filled full of great facts, anticipation and excitement.
The people could not be more helpful and fun and walking the track is worth the money alone.
The ride is hard to describe in its intensity and sheer bone rattling excitement, great times!Written 24 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a large viewing platform by the falls.Written 31 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jax OWest Sussex, UK128 contributionsI discovered the Lost lake by luck and chance whilst walking around Whistler on my first day. I found Austria House where crampons, snow shoes and cross country skis can be rented. I rented a set of crampons and went out on an adventure to the lake. It was simply beautiful!Written 19 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carin PSydney, Australia62 contributionsThis was a great experience! Has a free guided tour every hour! You pay once and can come back and visit as many times as you like .

- Fast_Eddie_666Exeter, UK7 contributionsEpic! Epic! Epic! My son and I had the best day riding Whistler Bike Park. It so confidence inspiring. The trails are so well made and up kept. We started on the Greens but quickly progressed onto blues and were soon reveling in the speed an thrills of the DH trails. The lifts are great, staff are friendly and helpful. The watering points dotted at the top and bottoms of the trails are really useful too! If you're going to go to any Mountain Bike Park, make it this one!Written 18 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jsd26Cardiff, UK170 contributionsClose to the Olympic Village just to the South of Whistler, this is definitely worth a visit. With two parking lots available on Janes Lake Road the trail is a pleasant stroll through the woods to a bouncy suspension bridge, on the other side of which lay seven wrecked train carriages from a derailment in 1956. Two information boards explain what happened and how the carriages came to be where they are. Now covered in graffiti the carriages make for an incongruous site in the forest. Two of the carriages require walking a little further but it’s worth the effort.Written 31 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Some really good art inside too, a great afternoon on a rainy day, would definitely recommend it.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Henry’s TakeSan Diego, CA1,486 contributionsTrail Series, Part 34
“Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle, bicycle, bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like.”
Queen
Does riding a bike while in the mountains sound appealing, but the part that involves barreling down bumpy terrain that makes your teeth chatter, maybe not so much? Well not to worry, ‘cuz we’ve got you covered!
There just happens to be approximately 50 km of trails in and around the Whistler Village that are easily navigated (and numerous opportunities to rent your bike and safety equipment).
We began our journey in Whistler Village and rode the Valley Trail on our visits to Lost Lake, Green Lake, Alta Lake, Nita Lake, and Alpha Lake, while enjoying views of the mountains that seemed to surround us on all sides.
This trail is mostly flat, is maintained in excellent fashion, displays clear directional signage throughout, and nearly all of its sections are paved. While there are some hills to contend with, none of them should discourage riders of any ability level (or those with mobility issues).
This is a great opportunity to meander off the beaten path and explore some of the nuances of the Whistler Village area, with numerous food or beverage provisions available throughout your self-directed journey.
In keeping with Canadian tradition, we were careful to pack an “Oh Henry!” bar as part of our emergency rations (which we finally consumed given that none of our adventures this week involved a search and rescue team).
And that’s…Henry’s Take.

It is built very safe and not a lot of moving takes place. The views are fantastic!Written 21 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
