"...a riding holiday to Whistler is nothing less than a pilgrimage to the Mecca of contemporary mountain biking..."
(MBR March 2004)
A riding holiday out to Whistler and the surrounds is more than just riding; it’s about experiencing BC and embracing the unparalleled riding culture, colorful people and breathtaking scenery. From the lush coastal Squamish micro rainforests to the jagged Whistler mountain peaks, the West Coast of BC is a beautifully diverse mountain biker’s paradise.
Whistler Valley
The Whistler Valley, situated in the southern Coastal Mountain Range of British Columbia (about a 2 hour drive north of Vancouver on the west coast of Canada) forms the crest of the Sea to Sky corridor. Breathtaking scenery will greet you as you make the 2hour trip north from Vancouver International
Whistler Village – widely accepted as the benchmark location in freeride mountain biking holidays, is more often recognised for its world-class winter sports (the 2010 Olympics are to be held there). In the summer however, it becomes the home of incredible riding, with thousands of km’s of Singletrack and downhill trails, serviced by chairlift, shuttle and pedal power access!
There are several pretenders to the “Best Biking on the Planet” crown, but the number and variety of rides in this area leave most other contenders in the dust. Ski lift–serviced downhill runs, cross country trails, all mountain backcountry epics and family tours all exist in this spectacular mountain resort.
Whistler Village Whistler may be a town of only 10,000 people, but you can find something to do there every day, whether it’s a thrilling adventure or just some quiet time listening to nature and absorbing the magnificent scenery.
With more than 200 shops and stores in the pedestrianised village alone, you’re guaranteed to find everything you need during your stay too. From native artwork, high fashion apparel, jewelry, snowboard equipment to bathing suits and camping supplies, you can find it in Whistler.
If you like to eat well, Whistler boasts some of the best restaurants in the world, ranging from white tablecloth, fine-dining to pub-style atmosphere, family eateries, fast food, and everything in between.
With breathtaking scenery and the opportunity to partake in almost every summer and winter outdoor activity imaginable, Whistler has firmly established itself as one of the premier destination resorts in the world
