ALPINE SEASONS OF SUMMER

TIME. TRAVEL.

An alpine summer is no one-time wonder -- it's an entire series. Before the sun rides solstice-high, parts of the mountain cling to hibernation, making summer in the mountains a very unique experience. Each week brings something new, making no two visits the same. Discover what makes each season of the Summer Alpine Experience different so that you can plan your day.

Important Information

Being prepared is the best way to make the most out of your visit to Whistler Blackcomb. Check out these tips to make sure you're on the right track:

WHAT TO WEAR

  • Closed-toe walking or hiking shoes (not high heels or flip flops)
  • Depending on the season, a light sweater or jacket at minimum. The temperature at the top of the mountain is usually 10 degrees cooler than in the village, so always remember to pack layers! Check the alpine forecast for daily updates.

WHAT TO BRING

  • Water and food for longer hikes
  • Layers of clothing
  • Sunscreen
  • A camera
  • Money (and an appetite) if you would like to visit our wonderful on mountain dining locations

HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED

  • If you want to simply upload the Wizard Chair/Solar Express, take the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola across and ride the Whistler Village Gondola down, it will take approximately 1.5 hours to complete.
  • If you want to do all of our activities it would take a full summer!
  • Check out the Alpine Trails page to find out more about route times.

MAKE YOUR DOLLAR GO FURTHER
