Whistler in summer transforms from a world-class ski resort into a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering everything from hiking and mountain biking to scenic sightseeing and alpine adventures. The lush Coast Mountains provide the perfect backdrop for exploring Whistler’s extensive trail networks, crystal-clear lakes, and vibrant village atmosphere. One of the best ways to experience Whistler’s breathtaking scenery is by taking its impressive gondola system, which provides access to high alpine terrain without the need for strenuous hiking. The Whistler Village Gondola carries visitors from the village to the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler Mountain, while the Blackcomb Gondola ascends to Rendezvous Lodge on Blackcomb Mountain, offering incredible views along the way.
A highlight of any summer visit is the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, which connects Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, providing unparalleled panoramic views of glaciers, alpine lakes, and lush forests. This engineering marvel holds world records for the longest and highest lift of its kind, spanning 4.4 km across the valley below. Visitors can create a scenic roundtrip experience by ascending Whistler Mountain via the Whistler Village Gondola, then taking the PEAK 2 PEAK to Blackcomb Mountain, and finally descending via the Blackcomb Gondola back to the village. Along the way, hikers can explore stunning alpine trails, dine at mountaintop restaurants, or simply relax and take in the spectacular views.
