Summers see droves of expectant mountain bikers lining up at the Whistler Village Gondola -- the access point to the world famous Whistler Mountain Bike Park! This adrenaline trip includes 200 kilometers of lift-serviced, gravity-fed descending trails ranging from gentle Coastal Forest cruisers and tight single tracks to steep rock faces and drop-offs. Looking to hone those skills? Visit the Green, Blue Zone or Double Black Skills Centres with their array of obstacles from low-level novice planks to gnarly, North Shore-caliber challenges. Need for speed? The Bikercross Course has the whole package. Massive banked corners, table-tops, doubles, rhythm sections… you name it.
Rather a picnic than a pulse-racing time on two wheels? Enjoy a leisurely ride on the Valley Trail, a 30 kilometer paved path perfect for a satisfying cycle. Connecting Whistler Village to its satellite parks, beaches, playgrounds and neighbourhoods, the trail has become a favourite with cyclists, strollers and families.
Whistler has many bike rental companies with machines geared to your expectations and skill level.
