The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola, as part of the world’s longest continuous lift system, introduces summer guests to unprecedented access to Whistler Blackcomb’s high alpine for sightseeing, hiking and mountain-top dining.
The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola travels a span of 4.4 kilometres/2.73 miles, giving sightseers and hikers a serene aerial flight showcasing flora and fauna, including black bears in their protected habitats, occupying the flanks of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains; the Coast Mountain Range’s many glaciers and peaks, and Whistler Village, surrounded by gem-like lakes.
Sightseers can complete a loop from lift-to-lift with gentle walks and stunning look-outs on either mountain, while hiking enthusiasts can embark on 20 trails of varying difficulty spanning over 50 kilometers on both mountains. Visitors in all seasons will enjoy a one of a kind mountain-to-mountain experience while gaining a greater appreciation of the importance in preserving Whistler’s natural environment.
As part of the PEAK 2 PEAK Alpine Experiences, guests can also enjoy a variety of mountaintop dining options featuring food and wine from BC suppliers:
Five of the most exceptional wineries in the Okanagan Valley will showcase 12 of their finest wines at 1850m/6069ft on Whistler Mountain.
The Great Estates of the Okanagan Wine Tasting Bar in the Roundhouse Lodge offer wine in small tasting portions, flights, glasses or bottles, to be savoured with the spectacular alpine setting.
Christine’s, located on Blackcomb Mountain in the Rendezvous Lodge, is Whistler Blackcomb’s only full service restaurant located in the alpine during the summer months.
Well known for amazing views and wonderful food and service in the winter, Christine’s summer debut will specialize in a daily brunch designed to showcase fresh local ingredients.
Every weekend from June to September the Roundhouse Lodge will host Mountain Top BBQs. Hikers and sightseers can work up an appetite taking in the alpine splendour via Whistler Blackcomb’s vast trail network and lift system including the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola before tucking into a delicious barbeque spread.
A memorable experience for the whole family, the Mountain Top BBQs will feature live music, alpenglow on the Coast Mountain Range and, of course, a breathtaking sunset at 6,000 feet to cap off the evening.
