More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb aboard a compact shuttle at the Gondola Transit Exchange and the valley opens like a map pulled taut—glacial peaks to the north, a strip of alpine village to the south, and rivers that insist you look closer. The guide takes a quick inventory of the group, hands out a map, and the vehicle threads through Whistler’s streets with the same steady confidence skiers reserve for steep runs. Windows down, the air smells of pine, wet rock and, depending on the season, the faint yeast of a nearby brewery.
