Descrição
Discover the best of British Columbia on a tour from Vancouver. Drive along the Sea to Sky Highway, ride the Sea to Sky Gondola, and visit Whistler Village.
Begin your journey with a drive along the iconic Sea to Sky Highway (Highway 99), a world-renowned coastal route that connects Vancouver to Whistler. As you leave the urban bustle behind, the scenery quickly transforms into an ever-changing display of natural drama.
Towering cliffs plunge into the shimmering waters of Howe Sound, while massive granite outcrops and dense forests frame the horizon. The highway winds its way past waterfalls, turquoise bays, and breathtaking overlooks. Be prepared to make plenty of stops along the way to take in sights such as Shannon Falls and Tantalus Range viewpoints.
Midway between Vancouver and Whistler lies Squamish, home to the spectacular Sea to Sky Gondola. Here, your tour shifts from road to sky. The gondola ascends 885 meters in just 10 minutes, lifting you high above the coastal rainforest for commanding views of the Howe Sound fjord, Sky Pilot Mountain, and the towering Stawamus Chief.
Once at the summit, explore a variety of attractions:
- Viewing Platforms: The Chief Overlook and Summit Lodge decks offer 360-degree views of mountain peaks, inlets, and glaciers.
- Hiking Trails: Trails like the Panorama Trail and Spirit Trail provide easy, scenic walks through subalpine forests.
- Suspension Bridge: The 100-meter Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge offers an exhilarating crossing with views deep into the valley below.
After your aerial ascent, take time to explore Squamish, a town often called the “Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada.” This vibrant community sits where rivers meet ocean and mountains, creating a hub for climbing, mountain biking, and hiking.
Continue north to the world-famous Whistler Village, a premier mountain resort town that offers far more than winter sports. This pedestrian-friendly village sits at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains and is a year-round destination for adventure and relaxation.
Whistler’s European-inspired design, cobblestone walkways, and alpine ambiance make it a delight to wander through. You’ll find boutique shops, art galleries, cafes, and gourmet restaurants lining the vibrant streets. The energy is lively but laid-back, making it easy to immerse yourself in the mountain town lifestyle.
Arguably one of the most thrilling experiences in Whistler is the Peak 2 Peak Gondola. Spanning 4.4 km between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, it holds world records for length and height. This engineering marvel offers a birds-eye view of ancient glaciers, deep valleys, and high alpine meadows. For a unique thrill, choose the glass-bottom cabin for a view beneath your feet.
