Whistler Valley Trail
Whistler's Valley Trail, is a 35 kilometre paved trail spanning between the Spring Creek area to the Emerald Estates.
The multi-season multipurpose trail is popular with guests during all months of the year.
"The Valley Trail is a core amenity in the community.
It's a major draw for people...
We try to make it as accessible as possible and are working toward our vision to connect all neighbourhoods in Whistler.
" said Dave Patterson, Manager of Parks Operations for the Resort Municipality of Whistler.
The Valley Trail will only improve as funding has already been set aside for a new bridge across 19 Mile Creek which will provide a trail access point between Alpine Meadows and Rainbow neighbourhoods.
During the summertime, guests can bike, roller-blade, or walk to almost anywhere in the Whistler area.
Popular summer stops along the trail include Lost Lake, Alpha Lake Parks, and Rainbow Beach.
Biking throughout all of the trail is enjoyable and doable; however we recommend guests allocate enough time to finish the trail before sunset.
Once the snow hits the pavement, the trail converts from a biker/hiker/blader paradise, to a snow shoer/cross-country skier haven.
Flat trails and beautiful scenery are attractions that serve both summer and winter vacationers.
At 3 meters wide, the Valley Trail offers a comfortable feeling where everyone, regardless of transportation method, can harmoniously commute & enjoy the sounds, smells, and sights together.
Trev Roote, a Recreation and Parks volunteer, is accredited for coming up with the idea of the Valley Trail.
Once Whistler Blackcomb realized the value in this year round attraction, it was planned and set in motion by local architect, Tom Barratt.
Guests planning on exploring the Valley Trail are recommended to follow the trail's basic rules: keep to the right, leash your dogs, and clean up after them using the waste bags and bear-proof bins provided.
