You may have taken a ride on a gondola before, but I can guarantee you haven’t ridden one as long as the Peak 2 Peak Gondolain Whistler. This HUGE gondola holds the world record for not only the longest gondola at 4.4 km (2.7 mi) but also the highest and longest unsupported span of any lift in the world.

One of our favorite tours in Whistlerwas a buggy tour! In our small 4-wheel utility vehicle, we cruised the mountain tops in the Callaghan Valley taking in panoramic views (when we weren’t splashing in the puddles, that is). We didthis specific buggy tourand loved every minute of it. Although neither of us had ever driven a buggy before, plenty of ...
If you know me, then you would know that I love stunning alpine lakes (almost more than traveling itself!) Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to visit many blue lakes situated high up in the mountains. With that said, Joffre Lakesjust outside of Whistler is one of the best I’ve ever seen! Just picture it – stunning mountain peaks, a glacier, tur...
Who doesn’t love whitewater rafting? In summer, this activity is a no-brainer – especially on a hot day when you can enjoy the cool splash of the glacier water.

Whistler is home to some pretty unique things to do, and one that surprised me the most was the Train Graveyard. This unique attraction is a graveyard of train carriages that derailed back in the 1950s. In order to get the train tracks open as fast as possible after the derailment, they moved the carriages off the tracks and left them in the forest...
Ziplining is super fun but to be honest, after completing the Gibbon Ziplining Experience in Laos (2 days of 30 Ziplines some over 1 km (0.62 mi) long), I hadn’t come across another zipline worth doing that would top that. That is until I came across the Sasquatch® zipline in Whistler. The Sasquatch is the longest zipline in North America at over 1...
