Nestled in the beautiful Callaghan Valley just twenty minutes south of Whistler, the stunning beauty of evergreen forests, mountain ranges and glacier views on your way to this hidden gem is just the start. Take a read of the must-do activities you can enjoy on a summer’s day at Whistler Olympic Park RV & Campground.
Head to the Day Lodge
Keep going through the entrance gate and after parking (it’s free), make your way to the impressive 11,000-square-foot Day Lodge, open to all, seven days a week (check their opening dates and hours of operation).
Here, you can chat with the friendly and knowledgeable guest services staff for information about activities, including hiking, a 9-hole disc golf course, pickleball, Olympic-style sightseeing and summer biathlon.
The Day Lodge is home to the Whistler Olympic Park Café, a fully licensed café serving locally crafted, scratch-made dishes that celebrate fresh, regional ingredients. Whether you’re craving a hearty meal after a hike, a light, refreshing bite to enjoy on the scenic patio, or your morning coffee to get the day started. There’s also a retail and gift shop for camping essentials, apparel and souvenirs.
Hike up the Ski Jumps
Explore trails of different difficulty levels and bike or hike to breathtaking viewpoints. Challenge yourself with the signature Ski Jump Scramble and climb to the top of the Olympic ski jumps. Wander through wide multi-use trails and discover the summer version of the world-renowned cross-country ski trails.
When you visit, learn about the Games by reading the interpretive signage, and take a photo as you visit the Olympic cross-country stadium, the biathlon range, and, of course, the Olympic Rings. More than one-third of all the Vancouver 2010 Winter and Paralympic Olympic Medals were awarded at Whistler Olympic Park.
The Park also features impressive First Nations art, created in the lead-up to the 2010 Games. Today, the art legacy consists of five official Olympic pieces and two others added afterward, making a total of seven carvings and tapestries. Read about them and download the summer trails map, which highlights where you can find the artwork on the Whistler Olympic Park website.
Book a Round of Summer Biathlon
Feel like an Olympian with an introduction to the winter sport of biathlon—in the summer! Learn to take aim and shoot a 22-calibre rifle at the Olympic shooting range. This is a super fun activity for groups of all sizes, with no previous experience necessary. Advanced booking is recommended.
Visit the Whistler Olympic Park website for further information and to book.
Try Disc Golf
The Squamish Disc Golf Club and the Whistler Disc Golf Club teamed up to build a NEW, exciting and FREE 9-hole disc golf course at Whistler Olympic Park! Weave through forest and ski trails as you perfect your form—the player with the fewest throws wins. Bring your discs or rent or buy some at the Day Lodge.
Picnics with a View
Whether you hike to the Top of the World, take a break on the Adirondack chairs, or relax on the deck of the Day Lodge, the views surrounding you will elevate your picnic to another level. Be sure to stop by the Day Lodge store to refuel with snacks and drinks (including ice cream!). Wander through the boutique for a great selection of outdoor apparel and souvenirs.
NEW! Interpretive Walk
Discover the story of Whistler Olympic Park on this scenic self-guided walk through the Olympic venue. Explore First Nations art displays at the Day Lodge before following interpretive signage through the cross-country and biathlon stadiums, with breathtaking mountain views and glacier-capped vistas along the way.
Head back to the Day Lodge for a yummy lunch on the patio and a little shopping at the boutique.
