Winter Sightseeing in Whistler
Exploring the beauty of Whistler is an all-season, year-round activity. Even if you do not ski or snowboard, you can easily enjoy Whistler’s winter wonderland on foot or from the seat of a sno-limo or snowcat.
Sightseeing by Foot
In December 2008 the brand new PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola opened, connecting Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains at their peaks. This engineering marvel is a must-see for any visitor to Whistler. Hop on at either mountain and see the majestic Fitzsimmons Valley below along with the surrounding Coast Mountains during the 11-minute trek across. Try to get the silver, glass-bottomed gondola for a 360 experience. Catch the lift up from the Village/Upper Village, have lunch, take the PEAK 2 PEAK across and see all the skiers and snowboarders living their bliss at the top of the world.
Single-day sightseeing tickets can be purchased for $39.95 for adults, $32.95 for youths (13-18) and seniors (65+) and $16.95 for kids ages 7-12.
Sno-Limo
Sno-limo offers people of any age, with absolutely no skiing or snowboarding experience, the opportunity to see the mountains’ alpine trails and runs up close and first hand.
- You sit in a customized, non-motorized sled best described as a very comfortable chair on skis that is driven by a trained chauffeur.
- This is the ultimate, fully interactive activity for the non-skier/snowboarder.
- Participate in on-slope, on-snow activities without needing to learn any new skills.
- Simply sit back and enjoy the scenery, Sno-Limo does the rest.
Snowcat Tours
To see Blackcomb Mountain at night and the twinkling Valley below, ride in a heated snowcat up to the cozy Crystal Hut cabin for a freshly made fondue dinner. Your guide will provide a narrated history of Whistler along with some tunes while you sit back and take in the serenity of the high alpine.
