Whistler Canada Hiking
Trail Maps
 The
Whistler Canada area has many great hiking trails
available during the summer season.
Get up, up and away with a Peak Adventure! Head
up the Whistler Village gondola and watch for
bears, deer and other wildlife while you enjoy
breathtaking views. Once at the Roundhouse Lodge,
watch history being built with the construction
of the Peak to Peak Gondola.
After exploring the sights at
the Roundhouse ride the open air chair to the
Peak of Whistler at more than 7,000'. The Inukshuk
and panoramic views of Black Tusk, glaciers and
the Coast Mountain Range make for unforgettable
memories and photos. As weather conditions can
change suddenly in the alpine, please be prepared
for winter conditions: sturdy walking shoes, winter
jackets and warm layered clothing is recommended
if you partake in the Peak Adventure ride.
Lost Lake Park
This is the best place for visiting
hikers to begin. The backbone of the park is the
extensive network of well-maintained trails leading
from Whistler village and are used for cross-country
skiing in the winter and hiking for the rest of
the year. There are many single track diversions
into the woods for mountain bikers along the way,
which are generally technically moderate. Lost
Lake Park also includes great swimming during
the summer and a mountain bike full dirt jumping
area as well as Shaler’s Bike Land, which
is a trial centre perfect for learning how to
get the bike up, over and along logs and other
obstacles.
Valley Trail
The Valley Trail in Whistler
Canada runs from one end of the Whistler valley
to the other end and is a great way to enjoy a
sunny afternoon by yourself or with the entire
family. You can even rent a bike in the village
and cruise down the trail with ease.
