Trail Maps.

The area north of Whistler Village and around Green Lake is one of the smaller networks of trails. But it does have a number of classic trails and some new additions worth checking out. This zone is not exactly famous for its “flow.” If you like chunder, roots, slabs, and getting out there, this is the place for you. Most of the trails in Whistler North are rated expert and above. However, there are a number of trails that riders of all levels can ride to discover what lies north of the village.

Whistler South is home to some iconic rides like Kashmir/Kush and this area is often one of the first to be clear in the spring making it an early-season favourite. The trails in Whistler South offer a bit of everything from fun flow trails to some steeper technical sections, and trails that traverse the subalpine and deep forest of the upper flanks. Whistler South contains public trails that fall within the Whistler Blackcomb Controlled Recreation Area (CRA). Extensive maintenance has taken place on these trails over the past few years, funded by Whistler Blackcomb.

The Westside trails are some of the oldest in the region. They are accessed by a challenging ascent up the Flank Trail. The lookouts along the Flank offer some of the best views of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, as well as the many lakes in the valley. The trails in the Westside have been etched into the mountainside by many of Whistler’s most well-known trail builders. The terrain on the Westside is highly variable and the length of ride depends on your ambition to climb. Every meter won on the way up is rewarded with epic vistas, slabs, roots, technical descents, and enough flow to keep you coming back to explore more. 

A number of Blackcomb’s trails were originally rogue builds on Whistler Blackcomb Controlled Recreation Area. Whistler Blackcomb has adopted many of the trails and help provide maintenance. The Blackcomb trails offer a long low-angle fall line single track experience through a spectacular forest that can’t be found anywhere else in the valley. Don’t let the low angle fool you there is plenty of steep terrain and no shortage of speed along all of the Blackcomb trails. The trails in this area are mostly black and double black and are accessed by a long climb that goes straight up the ski run and then is mostly a steep fire road.

Located directly across the highway from Function Junction, the Cheakamus area gets its name from the Cheakamus Lake and Cheakamus River watershed. The trails in Cheakamus are easily accessed with parking at the Cheakamus River parking lot just off the highway.  The area offers a variety of terrain that is suitable for all levels of riders. The trails here are dog-friendly but be cautious as they are next to the Garibaldi Park and there are no dogs permitted in the park. 

Whistler is a world-class destination for all types of bike enthusiast. The trail network here is as diverse as it is expansive. From the forty kilometres of paved Valley Trail that connects many of Whistler’s neighbourhoods, to the 70 expertly crafted trails in the Whistler Bike park, and with over a thousand kilometres of mountain bike trails throughout the valley, the if you like to spend time on two-wheels, there is something here for you.
