Ziptrek Ecotours

Ziplines and treetop bridges strung between Whistler and Blackcomb, starting in the Village

Summer · Fitzsimmons Creek, Whistler Village

Ziptrek was Whistler's first zipline company and it still has the most convenient location: the tours start in the Village and run through the old-growth forest of the Fitzsimmons Valley, the gap between Whistler and Blackcomb that the Peak 2 Peak Gondola crosses overhead. Lines run from tree to tree above the creek, linked by suspension bridges and boardwalks, with guides who talk about the forest as much as the ride.

There are four zipline tours plus a bridges-only TreeTrek. The Bear is the original and the family favourite; the Eagle adds a 2,400-foot line with a 30-storey descent; the Mammoth combines ten lines into a half-day; and the Sasquatch is a single two-kilometre line that Ziptrek bills as the longest in Canada and the USA.

Choose your tour

The Bear Tour is four ziplines and four treetop bridges over two to two and a half hours, with the longest line at 1,100 feet. It departs from the Blackcomb base and is the right first tour for a family: minimum age six, minimum weight 65 pounds, and lighter children can ride tandem with a guide.

The Eagle Tour is five lines and four bridges over two and a half to three hours, reached by gondola from Olympic Station on Whistler Mountain, and its 2,400-foot line is the one people talk about afterwards. The Mammoth stacks ten lines into four and a half hours for anyone who wants the full day. The Sasquatch is different again: one line, more than two kilometres, ninety seconds or more in the air, minimum age ten.

Winter tours check in at Carleton Lodge and summer tours meet at the steps by the Excalibur Gondola. Ziptrek uses its own booking system, so the button below takes you to their calendar; tell us what you have booked and we will build the rest of the day around it.
