For those who crave awe-inspiring landscapes, the Peak 2 Peak Gondola offers an unparalleled view of Whistler’s natural beauty. Connecting Whistler Mountain to Blackcomb Mountain, this gondola ride holds the record for the longest and highest lift, providing a 360-degree panorama of alpine scenery that stretches into the horizon. 

 

Opening on June 15 for the summer season, the gondola also grants access to over 50 kilometers of hiking trails across both mountains. Keep your eyes peeled – you might even be lucky enough to spot some local wildlife. P2P is the perfect way to witness the majestic beauty of British Columbia.
