1. Whistler Mountain Bike Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 588 reviews
Whistler Mountain Bike Park has something for every level of rider. Gentle, banked cruisers through the Coastal forest. Tight and twisty single track - perfect for intermediate riders. For the armour clad, full face wearing, 50lb. bike group there are steep rock faces, gnarly, root strewn lines, drop offs of all descriptions and more.

Excellent organisation of the lifts, very smooth operation. Brilliant variety of graded trails which you can work your way through. Good for experienced cyclists, but challenging for the absolute beginner. Worth hiring protective gear if you haven't taken yours. Check when the season starts and finishes before you go. Although it looked busy from the bottom, once on the hill you meet very few people. Worth checking out the various bike hire places for the best deals and booking in advance. Plenty of good bars and restaurants nearby too.

I did The Chief! What a challenging feat of a climb. Only 5km, by heart pumping all the way straight up 2149 feet. Stunning views of Howe Lake, Garibaldi peaks and Squamish. Reviews talk of crowds, but for a time, I was alone with The big Chief. This is one of the largest granite monoliths in the world. Take water, lunch or protein and enough daylight to take your time. Not a walk in the park! A massage the following day is highly advisable unless you are in tip top shape. I'm in great shape and still was glad to have booked a massage as I was a wee tender from the ascension ????

A must see! From downtown Burrard, we got onto a shuttle bus with Whistler rides for roughly £25 each return ...approx 2 hour journey. Times can be arranged via the schedule offered. Breathtaking views throughout the journey there and the views from the mountains on this very famous ski resort leave you in awe. A must see!
