If you thought Whistler was only a winter playground, think again. Summer in Whistler is an adventure-lover’s dream, filled with jaw-dropping views, adrenaline-pumping thrills, and plenty of sun-drenched chill time. Whether you’re after high-octane mountain biking or serene lakeside strolls, this 5-day itinerary will show you exactly how to make the most of your warm-weather escape.
Conquer the Mountains with a Gondola Ride and Alpine Hikes
Kick off your trip with a ride on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola; the views are unreal. Once you’re at the top, choose from a range of alpine trails that suit your energy level. Wildflowers, glacier views, and fresh mountain air? Yes, please.

Lakeside Chilling and Paddleboarding Fun
Whistler’s lakes are the ultimate cool-down spots. Head to Lost Lake or Alta Lake for a swim or a relaxing paddleboard session. Don’t forget to pack a picnic and stay for sunset.
Pedal Through the Valley Trail Network
Hire a bike and cruise the scenic Valley Trail. It links up parks, lakes, and hidden gems across town. You’ll pass through lush forests and maybe even spot some local wildlife.
Pamper Yourself with a Spa Break and Epic Stay
After all that adventuring, it’s time to relax. Book a massage, then retreat to your suite at Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside, one of the top-rated Whistler BC hotels. You’ve earned it.
Soak up Whistler Village Vibes
Spend your final day exploring Whistler Village. Browse boutiques, grab a gelato, and people-watch at one of the buzzing patios. Summer in the village? Totally underrated.
