Ziptrek Ecotours
|
 Feel the adrenaline pump through your veins as you soar along ziplines up to
2,000' long and 200' above the forest floor while reaching speeds of 80 km/hr!
Ziptrek guides take you on an interpretive adventure through the treetops
between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
Fully guided Ziptrek tours take guests on an inspiring journey through the
forest via a series of suspension bridges, observation platforms, ground based
trails and, of course, ziplines! |
About the Ziplines
|
 Our
ziplines are steel cables that are anchored between two points - generally
between treetop and treetop.
Guests are outfitted with a climbing harness and are then attached to the
zipline cable with a two wheeled pulley. For each aerial launch platform, guests
are instructed to step down the platform stairs until they feel the tension of
the tethers holding their weight. They can then simply pick up their feet, step
off the platform and soar as they glide down the cable picking up speeds of over
80 km/hr (50mph).
While on a zipline cable guest have the freedom to move, look around and
position themselves in various ways (ie. upside down!) to increase the speed and
the thrill.

Ziptrek Ecotours Location and Directions
|
If you're driving into Whistler from the South (Squamish/Vancouver), turn right
at the lights on to Village Gate Boulevard (the main entrance to Whistler
Village). Follow the signs to the day skier parking lots - this is the best
place to park.
Walk from the parking lots towards the Whistler Village Gondolas. Ziptrek
Ecotours is located inside the Carleton Lodge right across from the gondolas -
and next to the very well known Longhorn Saloon. In the summer months, Ziptrek
is on the main floor inside "Garbanzo Bike & Bean". In the winter months,
Ziptrek is located downstairs in the same building.
