Join us as we explore Whistler's famous mountain bike terrain and turn a normal
bike ride into a life long memory.
Have two wheels, will travel. In Whistler, from April all the way
through to the end of October, mountain biking is the name of the game. No
bike, no problem...
Whistler mountain bike rentals are available.
The Whistler valley has incredible trails ranging from easy paved
and gravel paths for the tame at heart, all the way to fall-line downhill
trails for riders with big cojones. With a variety of options ranging from
self-guided bicycle adventures within the valley to guided trips in the
valley and in the mountain bike park, there are mountain bike options for
everyone.
Whistler’s amazing valley trail weaves in and out of beautiful
neighbourhoods and parks all the way from Function Junction to Emerald. On
this scenic ride you’ll see all of Whistler’s amazing lakes like Alpha Lake,
Nita Lake, Alta Lake, Lost Lake, and finally super-chilly Green Lake!
Moving onto something slightly more advanced, the doubletrack weaving
around Lost Lake gives you the sightseeing capability of the valley trail
with some added dips, doodles, and hills to check out some awesome views.
Hop into Lost Lake for a swim after riding the slightly more technical
blue-rated Zappa trails, all named after songs by… you guessed it, Frank
Zappa. “Peaches en Regalia,” “Zoot Allures” and “Son of Mr. Green Genes”
are just a small selection of the riding options at Lost Lake.
Both sides of the Whistler valley are flanked by incredible classic
singletrack trails like the Flank Trail, Kill Me Thrill Me, A River Runs
Through It, Tunnel Vision and epic trail Comfortably Numb. There are a
handful of local companies who provide guiding services on short or epic
bike rides for visitors who are feeling up to an adventure.
The real gem of Whistler’s bike scene is the Whistler Downhill
Bike Park. It has trails ranging from double black rides for the Evil
Kneivel in you, and its lift-served access attracts visitors from all over
the world. Even beginners will have a great time in the bike park riding
trails like Easy Does It and Crank It Up. There are even intermediate
options from the top of Garbanzo chair, so there’s something for everyone
even from Whistler’s alpine.
In short, it’s time to get out to Whistler and embrace bicycles and all
the fun that goes along with them! See you on the trails (and don’t forget
an extra inner tube for your bike tires!)

Whistler Mountaineering

travel.

addictive sport of mountaineering.

Whistler Rock Climbing
There are an abundance of quality rock routes for all abilities in the Whistler to
Squamish corridor, which make it one of the best
destination climbing areas in Canada. Most famous are the long, multi pitch
routes on the 650 meter (2145 feet), granite massif, called the “Chief”.
Splitter cracks, classic finger and hand jams, low angled friction climbs, off
widths, steep face climbs, overhanging jugfests - you name it, we’ll take you to
it! We guide and instruct both sport and traditional rock routes.

A famous song once stated “Climb every mountain….” and it was right. When
visiting Whistler in the summer months, that’s exactly what you should do.
There are so many different ways to climb in Whistler and so many rock faces
to tackle, you’ll need a lifetime of holidays to do them all! After
experiencing the exhilaration of reaching the top of a rock wall using your
own two hands and feet, that’s exactly what you’ll want to spend your summer
holidays doing.
Sometimes chairlifts feel like cheating, so when you head out in
Whistler, Pemberton, or Squamish for a climb, let’s face it, you’re
experiencing the mountains firsthand.
For a sneak peek of what climbing is like if you’ve never done it before,
a great place to start is at the indoor climbing gym in Whistler Village.
You can practice on the bouldering wall without ropes, or pop into a harness
and climb with a belaying partner up the numerous indoor pitches. You’ll see
what it’s like to climb up overhangs from the safety of an indoor gym.
Once you have a handle on things, it’s time to get outdoors and start
climbing the real thing. Squamish boasts the Stawamus Chief, an imposing
rock face that looms over the beautiful Squamish landscape at heights of up
to 500m. The face has over 1500 climbing routes from beginner to advanced.
Once again I stress that you need a lifetime of holidays to experience the
amazing climbing around Whistler. There are all sorts of lead-climbing
options, and many top-roping spots too.
Between Squamish and Pemberton, there are a multitude of climbs and
there’s even a crag in Whistler’s Nordic neighbourhood that’s worth checking
out. The rest of the climbing spots can be found along the Sea-to-Sky
corridor from Vancouver to Pemberton and beyond. All of these spots are an
easy drive from Whistler and the Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau provides
guided tours for all levels of climbers.
In Pemberton you’ll be climbing with views of Mount Currie (you can’t
miss it when you’re in the Pemberton Valley,) as mountain bikers whiz down
the slopes nearby. You should probably stop at the local bakery for a
croissant and coffee after you’ve climbed some of Pemberton’s challenging
faces.
Breaking away from what one might consider more traditional climbing
options, visitors can sign up for a climb technique called Via Ferrata. With
some guides, the equipment they provide, and a handy route up Whistler Peak,
you’ll be climbing up to the Peak with little to no experience but boatloads
of fun. Don’t forget a camera though, because the view from Whistler Peak is
unforgettable. Via Ferrata means “iron way,” so don’t forget to bring your
iron lungs for the incredible climb.
So, as the song says, “climb every mountain,” but in Whistler you won’t
have to search high and low for where to go, because here at
www.ResortAc.com, we’ve got you covered.
