Board the Peak 2 Peak Gondola in Whistler for an unparalleled perspective of British Columbia's 'rooftop,' from views of towering volcanic peaks to the coastal rainforest. With two mountains, unbeatable photo ops, and more than 30 miles of trails in the summer, Whistler's gondola is the launching point for many summer adventures in the alpine region. It's also available in the fall and winter.
The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is not your average gondola. As the Guinness Book of World Records holder for the longest and highest lift, it connects the peaks of Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain.
With your admission ticket, hop aboard in Whistler Village for the 2.7-mile (4.4-km) ride across the high alpine terrain of the ski resort, enjoying this fabulous way to move between mountains and ski or hike the best terrain on both in the same day. You'll enjoy the entire 360-degree experience that comes with the gondola: more than 30 miles (50 km) of hiking and walking trails at the height of summer, amazing vistas, free and custom guided tours, photo ops in every direction, and an ever-changing timeline of seasonal activities and events that makes no two visits the same. If you're a hiker, don't miss the lift-accessed trails that twist through epic volcanic scenery.
High wind cancelled gandola on the scheduled day. Was very easy to change for another day to ride the gondola!

OK so the Whistler Peak 2 Peak Gondola is covered in your all mountains lift pass. So if you Have lift passes DON'T buy the Gondola ticket. We got ripped off as that isn't well documented and you only know after it is too late. We bought ours before leaving Australia and as we hadn't been there before didn't know any better. As for the ride - it is amazing on a perfect day it is glorious. If you aren't good with heights you might rethink but well worth it.

Really beautiful way to see the mountain if your not skiing
Review by: Salvatore S, October 2016
My husband and I along with another couple had purchased the Whistler Peak 2 Peak Gondola trip. In October, it only runs on Saturdays and Sundays. We bought our ticket for Saturday, October 8th. We were only going to be in Whistler that day. Unfortunately, for us there was a blizzard on the top of the Mountain and they were not yet prepared to deal with that snow, so the Peak to Peak Gondola was not running that day. We did however, ride up to the top of Whistler Mountain on the Whistler Mountain Gondola. It was beautiful with all the new snow and seeing the Olympic rings. It didn't end up being a good value as we had paid for the Peak to Peak, and didn't get to experience that. Please be cautious about purchasing tickets ahead if you only have one day that you can spend in Whistler.

Such an awesome way to view he mountains and the valley and town below. Would not miss it if you're in town. Also, the best Poutine I've had is in the restaurant on top of Blacomb mountain.

We went on a rainy, cloudy day and it was still beautiful. smooth ride -- quite an engineering feat!

Highlight of Whister experience! We also saw a Hoary Marmut at the top of the mountain for which the mountain was named. It makes a whistling sound to warm others of danger. Great trip!_br/_ One quick tip. Waiting an extra 30 minutes for a glass bottom gondola was not worth the wait. Very small glass portion of floor and seemed to be every tenth car._br/_ Enjoy!

A must do while in Whistler area. We hiked trails on both mountains even got some snow while on Whistler! The Peak2Peak was way cool we got there early and got on the first glass bottom gondola. Rode a regular later in the day as the glass bottom line was too long. Both cars are great.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Allow 3 hours at least. Maybe do a hike or a picnic on one of the mountaintops. You can go up an enclosed cart to go up or take an open ski lift chair. We did the fully enclosed one because our youngest was 4 and was scared at first. The peak to peak is a large 20 people enclosed cart but a few have a see through window in the floor but has a longer wait time.

This was a once in a lifetime type of an experience!_br/_ Turned out to be better than what I had expected._br/_ Recommended to every visitor to Vancouver - spare a day for Whistler.

Absolutely stunning! Amazing views, and gorgeous lodges at the top of the mountains on either end. Loved it.
Review by: carol j, August 2016
Although there is plenty of hiking all over Whistler, the only way to alpine hike for just a day is to buy the Gondola ticket! What a deal! Absolutely worth it and highly recommend the high note trail! You can get your tickets the day before, just bring your voucher in with you.

Beautiful views beyond compare. This was a beautiful, relatively short 11 minute ride across the valley between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, and spectacular in every direction for sure. The gondola can get a tad warm on a hot day, so dress in layers. We enjoyed the open chair lift on the way down to cool off which was also delightful. I would recommend that you research when all lifts, restaurants and shops on the mountain peaks close, as they are all different and you don't want to get stuck hungry or missing out on a ride that you were looking forward to all day. All in all, not an experience to be missed.

Always a must do every time I go to whistler. This was my 4th visit.
Review by: Ailie H, August 2016
Great experience. Well worth the cost. If you're able to I'd recommend making your way all the way to the top of Whistler mountain where the views were breath taking. The glass bottom gondola's had long waits and after experiencing both normal and glass bottomed I would recommend just travelling on the ordinary gondolas as the waiting time was much less and the experience was amazing. Highly recommended.

Superb! In mid July it was still winter so not able to hike down but still a lot of fun. They know what they are doing. Will go again.
Review by: Tracy H, August 2016
Fun experience and we did get to see a bear from the Gondola. Bring a coat as it gets cold up on top!
Review by: Diane S, August 2016
Our Gondola ride was the highlight of our visit to Whistler for both our granddaughters, my husband and myself. We spent the entire afternoon either on the gondola or at the two viewing areas. Absolutely delightful and a must do.

A must do for anyone visiting Whistler. I'm terrified of heights but had no problem on it at all. The views are amazing and I got some great photos on a perfect summers day.
Review by: amy c, July 2016
Amazing views and experience. The glass bottom ones are not worth the wait, it's only a small square of glass not the entire bottom. We got stopped mid way, right at the highest point - and it was a little scary! A must do.
Review by: Alexander D, July 2016
This was a superb awe inspiring trip which should not be missed by anyone currently in the area. Probably the best gondola trip I have ever been on and I have been on lots.
