Snowshoe Adventures
Discover Whistler’s Winter Wonderland
Our snowshoe tours range from serene walks through old growth forests to vigorous treks on our trails in the Whistler Backcountry. Why not pair your snowshoe experience with a magical night walk through the forest on Vallea Lumina. You don’t need to be a skier to enjoy all our mountains have to offer!
