Glory in the mountain-high views.

The panoramic views are breathtaking at the top of Whistler Mountain. Your adventure begins with the Whistler Gondola taking you from the Village to the mountain top, where you'll enjoy 360-degree views of pure splendour. Take in world-famous peaks, crystal lakes and magnificent glaciers. There are also some wonderful trails to explore, including Glacier Trail, Harmony Lake Trail and the quirkily named Musical Bumps.

A word or two on your excursion:

  • Do not disturb the wildlife
  • Please leave the area you visit undisturbed and be sure to carry out your garbage

A word or two on safety:

  • Obey posted signs and keep to designated trails
  • Before setting off to explore the mountain, please note the time of the last gondola back to Whistler Village
