Try a self-guided excursion on routes appropriate for all levels to see spectacular valley views and frozen lakes.
Manning Park is located between Hope and Princeton, a three-hour drive east from Vancouver.
Snowshoeing at Whistler Blackcomb
Whistler is a popular destination for snowshoeing. Lost Lake Park maintains 14km/8.7mi of trails for all abilities. Choose from a selection of guided tours, such as an moonlit walk ending with a campfire cookout or a trek along an old trapper’s path. Snowshoers and cross-country skiers use separate trails.
Whistler Blackcomb is a two-hour drive along the beautiful Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99) from Vancouver.
Practical Points
- Snowshoeing season can start as early as November and can last until April.
- Snowshoers exploring unmarked routes in provincial and national parks should have backcountry skills and experience.
- Some cross-country ski areas do not permit snowshoes on trails (snowshoe tracks can ruin the grooming for skiers). Check the trail info before heading out.
- Some snowshoe trails have user fees. Check with local Visitor Centres for trail maps and information.
- Tours and equipment rentals are available at many of the larger snowshoe areas; many outdoor stores also have rentals.
