There are enough attractions in Whistler to keep naturalists, thrill seekers and history buffs busy year round.
Head outside to see spectacular views at city parks (many are lakeside), or try flying through the air while ziplining or bungee jumping. The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola stretches between two mountains and provides a 360-degree view of the area.
Discover Aboriginal culture at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, and learn about mining, the railway, and the 2010 Olympic Winter Games at the Whistler Museum or the Whistler Olympic Park. Festivals in Whistler celebrate sports, arts, food, music and even dogs.

Whistler Places of Interest
Here are a few ideas of attractions to experience in Whistler:
- The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola holds three world records and offers 360 degree alpine views as it whisks riders up to 436m/1,430ft above the ground between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
- On a zipline tour, soar through old growth forests at speeds up to 100km per hour/60mph. From December until March, zip in the evening on routes glowing with LED lights.
- The Whistler Olympic Park and the Whistler Sliding Centre were sites for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. On a self-guided or guided tour, watch inspiring videos, appreciate how high a 90m/292ft ski jump actually is, and have a picture taken in a luge, bobsled or skeleton.
- Bungee jump at British Columbia's highest bungee jumping site. Walk out onto a bridge surrounded by old growth forests before free falling 46m/160ft towards a glacial fed river.
- The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre is a showcase for Aboriginal heritage. Watch local artists, sample traditional food or take the "Cultural Forest Walk" to learn about indigenous plants.
Family Attractions
During the winter, the Whistler Blackcomb Tube Park offers eight lanes of snow-sliding adventure. In summer, take the kids to the Blackcomb Base Adventure Zone to climb a rock wall, luge, or get lost in an 8m/25ft high spider web.
