Whistler is known for it’s outdoor recreational opportunities however, biking captures the hearts of most summertime dwellers. The village fills with the “woos” and “hoos” of bikers descending from epic rides, accompanied by the “clinks” of glasses filled with beers.

Vail Resorts knows how to put on a show and offer amazing riding but did you know a network of trails that lie beyond the boundaries of the Bike Park?  Get off the beaten path and discover a different kind of adventure – providing riders with the opportunity to explore the stunning natural beauty of the Whistler area while experiencing a variety of terrain and challenges. Zip through the trees, bike to the lakes or take in more mountain views!

Perfect for springtime riding to get your legs ready or on those busy summer days when you want to find a trail away from the crowds, check out these Whistler Bike Trails that are accessible through a little pedal power.

Lost Lake Trails: Nestled just minutes from Whistler Village, the Lost Lake trails offer a diverse range of riding experiences suitable for all skill levels. Bikers can choose many different interconnected loops, making it easy to customize their ride based on preferences and ability. Once you get tired, take a dip in the lake! All trails lead to the docks!

Comfortably Numb: For those craving a more adrenaline-fueled adventure, Comfortably Numb delivers an epic backcountry experience that’s not for the faint of heart. This challenging trail spans over 20 kilometers, traversing through dense forest and alpine meadows. Riders can expect steep climbs, technical descents, and rock features along the way. With stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the chance to encounter wildlife such as black bears. Pack a good lunch and enough to share (this is a joke, do not share with the bears!! Unfortunately they do not want to be your friend).

Cheakamus Lake Trail: A scenic ride that combines mountain biking and nature bliss, you’ll want to find a way to carry your camera! Located within Garibaldi Provincial Park, this intermediate-level trail follows the Cheakamus River, offering bikers stunning views  and surrounding old-growth forest. With its relatively mellow terrain and breathtaking scenery, the Cheakamus Lake Trail provides a refreshing contrast to the more technical trails found elsewhere in Whistler.
