A Perfect Summer Day at
Whistler Olympic Park
May 25th 2026
1.
Head to the Day Lodge
Keep going through the entrance gate and after parking (it’s free), make your way to the impressive 11,000-square-foot Day Lodge, open to all, seven days a week. Here, you can chat with the friendly and knowledgeable guest services staff for information about activities.
Insider tip: Before you get to the entrance gate for Whistler Olympic Park, take in the spectacular Alexander Falls, which will be on your left. There’s a viewing platform you can drive right up to.
2.
Hike up the Ski Jumps
Explore trails of different difficulty levels and bike or hike to breathtaking viewpoints. Challenge yourself with the signature Ski Jump Scramble and climb to the top of the Olympic ski jumps. Wander through wide multi-use trails and discover the summer version of the world-renowned cross-country ski trails.
When you visit, learn about the Games by reading the interpretive signage, and take a photo as you explore the Olympic cross-country stadium, the biathlon range, and, of course, the Olympic Rings. More than one-third of all the Vancouver 2010 Winter and Paralympic Olympic medals were awarded at Whistler Olympic Park.
The park also features impressive First Nations art created in the lead-up to the 2010 Games. Today, the art legacy consists of seven carvings and tapestries. Read about them and download the summer trails map, which highlights where you can find the artwork across the park.
3.
Book a Round of Summer Biathlon
Feel like an Olympian with an introduction to the winter sport of biathlon in the summer. Learn to take aim and shoot a .22-calibre rifle at the Olympic shooting range. This is a super fun activity for groups of all sizes, with no previous experience necessary. Advanced booking is recommended.
4.
Try Disc Golf
The Squamish Disc Golf Club and the Whistler Disc Golf Club teamed up to build a new, exciting and free 9-hole disc golf course at Whistler Olympic Park. Weave through forest and ski trails as you perfect your form—the player with the fewest throws wins. Bring your discs or rent some at the Day Lodge.
5.
Picnics with a View
Whether you hike to the Top of the World, take a break on Adirondack chairs, or relax and take in the scenery, the views surrounding you will elevate your picnic to another level.
