“We were extremely happy with our Amazing Chase event. One of my favourite things was the way that people were able to get creative and have some fun problem solving! For the teams themselves I think getting exposure to others in our department that they do not work with day-to-day was a key!! It proved the old adage "No one is good at everything, but everyone is good at something". We certainly found value, and have already started talking about what to do next year. I was able to let people know that you guys offer a number of different activities that we can have fun with! Thank you guys for everything!”

WHISTLER snowshoe tours

Try snowshoeing in Whistler, an authentic Canadian experience!

Our Whistler guided snowshoe tours are a wonderful method of absorbing nature and the beautiful mountains. Breathe the clear, crisp fresh mountain air. Relax, unwind and escape into a winter wonderland. (Typical Season: December 1st to April 30th – subject to snow conditions)

When the ground is frozen and blanketed with mounds of white, fluffy, fresh snow we tend to forget that nearly all of mother nature’s animals are very much awake and active. Only a few animals such as the marmot and bears really hibernate for the winter season. On our snow shoe tours we will take you into the frozen wilderness to experience all the glory of a true Canadian winter. We will explore animal tracks left behind in the fresh snow and get up close and personal with our local wildlife, even hand feeding the birds on the "Natural Mystic" tour.

Ride the Whistler Gondola all the way to Olympic Village on our "Winter Wonderland" snow shoe tour and take in the breathtaking 360 degree views of the surrounding West Coast Mountains. Take your camera and be sure to capture Whistler Village & Blackcomb Mountain from a bird's eye view.

Snowshoeing in Whistler is an enjoyable activity for everyone. The entire family (including active children as young as four) can spend quality time together in the beautiful outdoors of British Columbia. Active outdoor enthusiasts will be challenged and informed on our Medicine Trail Tour, or come and enjoy a cozy fondue dinner with a loved one on our "Evening Fondue Snowshoe Tour ". For those who want to a bit more excitement check out our full day Snowshoe Safari and Heli Snowshoe tour!
