Whistler offers hundreds of kilometres of multi-use trails, ranging from easy gravel trails to some of the best singletrack mountain biking in the world. While trails can be found everywhere around Whistler, major areas include Lost Lake Park, the Whistler Interpretive Forest, Train Wreck, and the West Side.
Trails are also available for use year-round, including snowshoeing in the winter months.
Trail updates
From October 10, some washrooms, dog bag dispensers and garbage service will be closed for winter until April 2026.
Comfortably Numb trail bridge replacement
The new cable suspension Wedge Creek Bridge (Al Grey Memorial) on the Comfortably Numb Trail is open!
Pine Point Park improvements
While some trail improvement work continues out to Pine Point, the new ramp and floats in Pine Cove are now complete and opened to the public on Friday, July 25. Remaining work includes signage, fencing for both privacy and environmental protection and relocation of the existing boat rack.
Trails are open for hiking and snowshoeing in the winter months. Please note that a pass is required to use marked cross-country ski and snowshoe trails in Lost Lake Park (PDF) during the winter.
Lost Lake Park
Lost Lake Park has an extensive network of multi-use hiking and biking trails maintained by the Resort Municipality of Whistler, with a progression of trails ranging from green doubletrack beginner trails like Tin Pants and Molly Hogan to intermediate trails like the Zappa Trail network.
Please note that there may be closures and diversions due to tree thinning, trail maintenance, and the annual Western Toad migration.
Lost Lake Park also offers Nordic skiing and snowshoeing in winter months. A pass is required to access these trails, and during Nordic operations the trails are closed to all other users.
