More than 50 km of Valley Trail connects Whistler Village with surrounding parks and neighborhoods. New sections are continually being added with the goal of providing seamless travel from one end of Whistler to the other, including every neighborhood, park, and amenity. Some sections are lit at night, while others are not.
It is the perfect alternative to car-travel or the perfect way to spend a day exploring. During winter months, when conditions permit, some sections are maintained for cross-country skiing.
