[Whistler Mountain in Vancouver] 🇨🇦 Just sightseeing in the world-famous skiing⛷️ region!?
My experience visiting Whistler Mountain was a day filled with breathtaking scenery and a wealth of activities. Whistler is a resort that can be enjoyed throughout the year, and is known as a world-class ski resort in winter, but I visited in the summer season. The mountains were covered in greenery, the air was clear, and I could feel a different charm.
To get to the top of Whistler Mountain, use the Whistler Village Gondola, which extends from Whistler Village. As you board the gondola, the altitude gradually increases and the bustle of the village recedes, and the majestic nature spreads out before you. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will be greeted by a magnificent panoramic view, especially the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, which connects Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. This gondola is the longest and highest cable car in the world, and the thrill of crossing and the 360-degree spectacular view are unforgettable experiences.
There are various hiking routes from the top that can be enjoyed by beginners to advanced hikers, and I chose the shorter Alpine Loop Trail. As I walked along the trail, alpine plants bloomed in abundance, and snow-capped mountains could be seen in the distance. The beauty of the scenery was so beautiful that I lost track of time. If you're lucky, you might encounter wildlife, and I was able to see a marmot.
Whistler Village itself is also attractive as a tourist spot in the area. The village, with its European-style cobblestone streets, is dotted with shopping and dining spots, especially the pubs where you can enjoy local craft beer and the many restaurants that use locally produced ingredients, making it the perfect place to stop by between sightseeing.
My advice to the next visitor is that if you want to enjoy hiking or sightseeing in the summer, I recommend getting up early in the morning. Popular gondolas and trails can get crowded, so visiting early will allow you to enjoy the area at a leisurely pace. Also, the temperature at the summit is low and the wind is strong, so it's a good idea to bring warm clothes even in the summer.
