Mountaineering

So you've hiked all the trails and routes from beginner to challenging and now you are looking for that next big challenge. Ever tried mountaineering? The Whistler area has some of the best, classic alpine routes in the area. Some mountain summits are attained with pure alpine rock climbing and others involve a mix of glacier travel, snow and ice climbing.

Local guides and courses from beginner to advanced are available to the thrill-seeking mountain adventurer. Popular climbs are Wedge Mountain at 2904 metres, Mt. Matier at 2770 metres and Blackcomb Peak at 2346 metres.

New for 2005

Intermediate climbers and experienced hikers interested in learning more about the art of mountaineering are invited to join Whistler Alpine Guides in an exciting adventure to the top of Blackcomb Mountain via the classic Blackcomb Buttress route. The tour departs daily and can be booked directly through Whistler Alpine Guides.
