Activity itinerary

Whistler Mountain
After taking the Whistler Village Gondola up the mountain the tour starts at the mountaintop office where the guide gives the guests their gear. You then start hiking to the base of the Whistler Glacier. The guide gives an interpretive tour with lots of information about local geology, animals, fauna and other interesting notes. Get your hands on the summer snow high above Whistler and enjoy the cooling breezes coming down off the glacier. This is a great place to take breath-taking photos.
