Although Whistler is best known for its skiing and mountain biking Whistler is more than that. Whistler is a perfect destination for hikers, ramblers and backpackers. Whistler has always had an abundance of hiking trails throughout the valley and the Alpine environments however with use of the Whistler gondola, Peak chair and the new Peak to Peak Gondola the accessibility of these Alpine trails has just become even easier!

Spectacular alpine meadows, ancient glaciers, beautiful wildflowers and indigenous wildlife are just some of the amazing features you will see and experience while hiking in and around Whistler. There is an amazing amount of hiking trails that cater for all levels of hikers ranging from easy strolls to more adventurous wilderness terrain.  Whistler hiking trails are rated just like the ski trails in the winter; they are given either an Easy, Intermediate or advanced rating so that you never have to worry about getting on a trail that maybe too challenging or not enough for you.

Whistler trails range in length from a half an hour stroll around lost lake to a multi day hiking adventure through Garibaldi Provincial Park. There is no hiking trail in Whistler that does not offer at least amazing scenery and view points, crystal clear lakes to swim in, waterfalls and rivers, wildflowers, snow fields, glaciers or ancient forests.
