Activities in Whistler

Whistler has a huge choice of resort activities designed to complement your day on the mountain.

First Tracks Early Access Ticket

Be one of the first on the mountain with early gondola access and an on-mountain dining voucher to use as you wish during the day. Tickets are valid for any day within operating dates (mid Dec-end of March) on a first come first served basis so you’ll need to be up super early on a powder day! Numbers are limited to about 600 people per day, weather dependent.

Wonder Routes

Seven individual networks of trails allowing you to self-guide round the mountains at your own pace. Young families can take on the best greens in the ‘Family Certified Route’, adventure seekers can head into the trees on the ‘Glade Stashes’ route or maybe the ‘Après Route’ is more your thing!
