Summer Activities
Mountain biking
Our sister organisation, Phat Trax BC (www.phattraxbc.com) has been set up to facilitate some of the most stunning mountain bike riding anywhere in the world. Whether you’re a downhill addict, a trick fiend or just want a cruise around Whistler’s stunning scenery, we can arrange everything. For more information visit www.phattraxbc.com
We have negotiated exclusive deals for Chalet Luise guests at Summit Sports, one of Whistler’s premier equipment and service outlets to provide you with the best riding and significantly lower prices than if you walked in off the street.

Hiking
Just as a mountain bike excursion will allow you to sample the best views in the northern hemisphere, a hiking trip will offer the same experience but at a lower speed. The feeling of cresting a rise and seeing the amazing scenery laid out in front of you just can’t be beaten.
Golf
Golf lovers will find four world-class courses within a short drive of Chalet Luise. All are framed by our amazing backdrop and provide various levels of difficulty, from beginner to near-pro. Choose from Whistler’s own course, with driving range and practice bunker to the Jack Nicklaus-designed course, winding around the shores of Green Lake.

Ziptrekking
Not for the faint-hearted! Reach 50mph on a steel cable 2000 feet above ground level, upside down. If you thought a black run or the hardest downhill courses were extreme, you need to try Zip Treking.

Fishing
If you yearn for the peace and tranquillity of a day’s fishing, then the lakes, rivers and streams around Whistler are ideal. You can fish all year round for Salmon, Trout and Steelhead and our partners, Valley Fishing knows exactly where the fish bite.

Peak-2-Peak Gondola
Whistler has the longest unsupported gondola in the World, linking Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. It is 4.4Km long, with an unsupported span of just over 3.8Km and at its highest point, is 436 metres above ground level. As a way to see the scenery and wildlife around Whistler, there’s no better way.
Floatplane rides
If the 430m above ground level of the Peak-2-Peak gondola isn’t high enough, then why not treat yourself to a floatplane experience around Whistler and Blackcomb mountains? Get an unparalleled view of the glaciers, forests and meadows that make Whistler famous.
