Quick Facts

Ziptrek has a total of five ziplines.
The first, the practice/training line, is short and low to the ground.
The remaining four ziplines gain progressively in height and length with the longest starting about 70ft up in an ancient Douglas Fir tree and traveling over 1000ft along and across the raging water of Fitzsimmons Creek.
Ziptrek lies less nestled in the valley between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. The course covers over 11 hectares (33 acres) of land and contains areas of untouched, ancient coastal temperate rainforest. This forest is home to the bear, cougar, hoary marmot and a plethora of other living creatures.
Ziptrek uses ziplines to cover a lot of difficult terrain and to access the forest canopy without damaging the environment like heavy foot traffic or mechanized vehicles.
The act of ziplining involves gliding along a suspended steel cable, using a pulley and climbing harness.
Ziplines are accessed from Cedar decks high up in the forest canopy.
Tour duration is approximately 2.5 hours, including a short shuttle by four-wheel drive van (and snow cat in winter) to and from Whistler Village
