Whistler Mountain, Mountain peak in Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada
Whistler Mountain rises to 2,181 meters and features terrain suited for winter sports and summer activities across its expansive slopes. The area includes over 200 marked runs where visitors can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and hiking.
The mountain was formerly called London Mountain until it gained its current name in 1965. The new name refers to the distinctive sounds made by marmots living in the alpine areas.
The mountain displays art installations created by First Nations artists that share Indigenous perspectives tied to the landscape. Visitors encounter these works while traveling through the gondola system.
A gondola system connects this mountain to a neighboring peak, giving visitors access to the many runs across the entire range. Be prepared for temperature changes as you move between different elevations and terrain areas.
The mountain contains shale layers from ancient ocean floors and lava flows from the Early Cretaceous era. These geological layers tell a story of Earth's changing surface long before the mountain became a recreation destination.
