TRAIL
DESCRIPTIONS
Whistler Olympic Park
Brandywine Day Lodge Trailhead
The snowshoe trailhead is on the bottom level beside Rainbow
Mountain Rentals. The trail wanders through the woods towards the
Ski Jumps. Continue south across the flat area at the bottom of the
Jumps to access Lookout Explorer, Olympic Explorer, and Black Tusk
Explorer. To access Wetland Wanderer, and the other trails connected
to it, follow the ski trail west under the road where you will find the
snowshoe trail re-entering the forest. Stadium Explorer circles the
bottom of the Ski Jumps and proceeds north past the upper level of the
Brandywine Day Lodge towards the
Cross Country Stadium.
The convenience of a single Ski Callaghan admission provides
access to the combined trail system of both the Callaghan
Country and Whistler Olympic Park operating areas as one!
Ski Callaghan offers the complete Nordic experience, whether
you are new to Nordic sports or are an elite athlete.

This trail is an extension of the Lookout Explorer Trail. The east leg
of the trail traverses above the Callaghan Valley with great views of
Black Tusk for much of the route. At the furthest point of the trail it
drops down to a creek and then makes the long climb back up to
connect with the Lookout Explorer Trail at the Top of the World
shelter.

The Callaghan Explorer trail is the most arduous route within
Whistler Olympic Park. It is a challenging trail which must be
accessed via other trails. But this is also a very rewarding tour with a
beautiful viewpoint overlooking Whistler Olympic Park. The route
traverses open forest with mature stands of fir and cedar
interspersed with steep climbs up gullies through breaks in cliff
bands.

also be accessed from the base area and is best known for being

This novice snowshoe trail meanders around the Porters Glide ski
trail area. The terrain is relatively flat and divided between open
terrain with great views of the Brandywine Range and a path
through a mixture of old- and new-growth forest. This is a fun place
to take the family for an afternoon snowshoe. It also provides an
opportunity for some members of your group to ski and others to
snowshoe in the same vicinity. You are also welcome to snowshoe
to the side of the Porters Glide Ski trail as well as explore the area
that the ski trail encompasses.

Alexander Falls Snowshoe Trailhead
This trail travels along the Madeley Creek wetland through
beautiful stands of mature Cedar. The trail drops down into the
Madeley Creek drainage and is one of our longest trails so plan to
spend a few hours completing this route. The Madeley Explorer Trail
can be accessed from the Biathlon end of Stadium Explorer or off of
Wetland Wanderer.
2.5 km
This trail is one of our steepest and most challenging routes.
Usually accessed from the Day Lodge and the Lookout Explorer
Trail, this trail charges straight up through the forest to the top of
the ski jumps. On the way it passes by a beautiful waterfall and
mature stands of Yellow Cedar. Once at the top of the jumps you
will enjoy a grand panorama of the Callaghan Valley and get an
idea of what it might be like to fly off of the ski jumps. From this
point the trail heads up and down slopes to end up at the Biathlon
Range. Return is via the Stadium Explorer Trail.
Wetland Wanderer
One ticket or pass provides you with
access to over 35 km of snowshoe
trails, with the ability to move freely
between both areas.
Without a doubt...one of the most
inspiring natural experiences of your
lifetime! An exhilarating single track trail
winding its way down to the base of a
55 metre frozen waterfall.
Warning! Some steep sections make this
a challenge for some novices and
small children.
Madeley Explorer
