Whistler Glacier Hiking Tour
Whistler Glacier Tour
At the time indicated, we'll meet at one of the starting points in Whistler to set off on a spectacular and frosty hiking adventure. Are you ready?
After driving to the starting point of the activity, we'll gear up with helmets, harnesses, and boots prepared to walk over ice. Then, we'll set off on a once-in-a-lifetime hiking experience, prepared to take in the stunning scenery of this Canadian glacier. Our experienced guides will lead you through the dramatic rugged landscape into an ecosystem that's incredibly vulnerable to climate change. We'll learn all about the huge importance of preserving this natural wonder.
As we admire the icy terrain, we'll delve into an alpine bowl formed by an ancient glacier and discover the fascinating history and ecology of alpine landscapes. Throughout the walk, the expert guide will share tons of information about the area in a fun and entertaining way. We'll also make plenty of stops to take photos of the breathtaking views.
Finally, after a total of 2 hours, we'll head back to the starting point and end this exciting glacial activity. Until next time!
