Whistler Blackcomb’s award-winning big mountain experience is about to get a whole lot bigger! Starting December 12, you will be able to get more of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains with the record-breaking new PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola that will link them together for the first time. Boasting the longest unsupported lift span in the world at 3.024 kilometres (1.88 miles), it’s also the highest lift of its kind at 415 metres / 1,361 feet. Take advantage of incredible deals on winter packages and you’ll be skiing or riding both mountains without ever touching the ground. It takes just 11 minutes to traverse the sky and only 30 seconds to book your holiday of a lifetime.
