Ziptrek Ecotours, Fitzsimmons Creek, Whistler, Tourism BC/Toshi Kawano photo
Learn about local ecology and ancient forests from the naturalist guides as they lead visitors through trails, boardwalks and bridges before harnessing them up and sending them zipping through the trees.
The adventure begins the moment visitors fly along the first of five zip line cables, secured in a full body harness, 49m/160 ft over Fitzsimmons Creek and the forest valley between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. The region boasts some of the highest and longest zip lines in the world. Try a 609m/2000 ft zip with a drop of over 20 stories, while reaching speeds of over 80km/50mi per hour. Flying with family and friends? Zip side by side on a tandem-line system.
