Discover Whistler from up high on an alpine hike. Keep your eyes peeled, as you can spot hoary marmots and American pikas here.

What you can experience here

On Whistler’s two local mountains you can spot hoary marmots and American pikas along numerous alpine hiking trails. If you’d also like to enjoy a breathtaking view, you should hike the "Decker Loop" on Blackcomb.

Alternatively, you can take the gondola up Whistler Mountain and hike the slightly longer "High Note Trail". This is 9.4 km long and takes around 4 hours.

You reach the mountains with the Peak2Peak Gondola in Whistler Village, which connects the two peaks.
