SUMMER 2013 VACATION GUIDE
/
P: Robin O’Neill
Millions of years in the making.
And you’re just in time.
IT’S BEEN WELL WORTH THE WAIT.
From ancient peaks with their spectacular views
and plethora of alpine hiking trails to the vibrant
yet sophisticated Village, Whistler Blackcomb takes
summer to another level.
Journey between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains
on the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola or hit the Whistler
Mountain Bike Park’s 250km (155 mi) of lift-serviced
trails. ZipTrek over a raging river or catch a glimpse of
resident wildlife on a Bear Tour. If adventure isn’t what
you’re looking for, pull up a chair on a sunny patio, take
in Whistler’s non-stop lineup of festivals or stroll the
Village for a little retail therapy. Whether experiencing
something completely new or just relaxing, you’ll find
what you’re looking for in Whistler. And at only 1.5
hours from Vancouver, you’ll find it fast.

THE PEAK 2 PEAK ALPINE EXPERIENCE
Board the world record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola and
journey between the top of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
Step off and you’ll find yourself in a ruggedly-breathtaking
environment a million years in the making. Lucky for you,
a network of alpine hiking and interpretive walking trails,
a freshly-prepared meal and a cappuccino bar were also part
of the evolutionary process.
N The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola breaks three world records. It is
the highest of its kind at 436 m (1,427 ft), has the longest
unsupported span at 3.024km (1.879 mi) and is the longest
continuous lift system in the world.
N NEW! Get a look at the inner workings of the Gondola from the
PEAK 2 PEAK Gallery.
N NEW! Venture inside the Samsung Alpine Theatre and take in
inspirational videos to inspire your alpine experience.
