Trail Description
The Valley Trail is Whistler's paved cycling corridor. Whistler Village is the pedestrian oriented hub of the valley and is linked from Whistler Creekside in the south to Emerald Estates in the north by over 30km of paved multi-use Valley Trail. This scenic and relatively flat route forms the backbone of human powered travel in the community, offers a great introduction to the area and is the jumping off point for a myriad of more ambitious rides. Unless your riding with kids or dogs there’s no need to get in your car once you’re here. Most rides are within a half hour spin from the Village.
The Valley Trail also accesses Meadow Park Sports Center with it’s playing fields and water park, Rainbow Beach, Lost Lake, Wayside, Lakeside and Alpha Lake Parks which are a great opportunity for a quick swim, picnic or washroom break. You can find the Valley Trail from anywhere in the resort easily by looking for the signs and the Valley Trail info kiosks.
The original idea for the trail was spearheaded by Trev Roote, a long time Parks and Rec volunteer, and brought to life by the vision and hard work of Tom Barratt, who realized the value of this year round amenity.
