Experience the Best of Summer in Whistler

Summer in Whistler is a season like no other. As the snow melts, it gives way to lush forests, clear alpine lakes, and adrenaline-pumping adventures that make Whistler the ultimate Canadian summer destination. Whether you’re a mountain biking enthusiast, a nature lover, or just looking to unwind in the mountains, Whistler offers something for everyone.

Let’s explore the top Whistler summer activities and how you can make the most of your stay with Whistler Superior Properties — your trusted local source for vacation rentals since 2004.

Whistler Mountain Biking: Ride the World-Famous Whistler Bike Park

If you’re a mountain biker, there’s one place that belongs at the very top of your bucket list: the Whistler Bike Park.

Renowned worldwide for its expertly maintained trails, diverse terrain, and gravity-fed excitement, the Whistler Bike Park is the place for downhill mountain biking. From beginner-friendly green runs to technical black diamond descents, the park offers over 80 km of trails across four mountain zones: Fitzsimmons, Garbanzo, Peak, and Creekside.

Why ride here?

  • Professional-grade trails designed by legendary builders
  • Daily lift access for maximum runs (no climbing needed!)
  • On-site rentals and lessons for all skill levels
  • Events like Crankworx Whistler – the world’s biggest mountain bike festival

And after a full day of shredding, you’ll want a comfortable, convenient place to relax. That’s where Whistler Superior Properties comes in — offering bike-friendly accommodations just minutes from the lift.

Scenic Hiking Trails with Breathtaking Views

Not a biker? No problem. Whistler boasts an impressive network of alpine hiking trails ranging from easy strolls to challenging summit hikes.

Some local favorites include:

  • Joffre Lakes – Turquoise glacial lakes and majestic views
  • Train Wreck Trail – A forest walk ending at a graffiti-covered boxcar site
  • High Note Trail – Panoramic alpine scenery starting from the Peak Express chair

If you’re staying in the Village, many trailheads are accessible right from your door — especially when you book centrally located accommodations with Whistler Superior Properties.
