Positioned
right on the edge of the Horstman Glacier, Blackcomb
Glacier Provincial Park and Garibaldi Provincial

bringing us back in time to the formation of the
Coast Mountains. Fun for all, a day on the glacier
is a delightful adventure full of interest and
excitement. Learn about glaciology and ice
formation, and receive instruction about walking
with crampons and ice axe on a glacier. One of the
many highlights of the day has us exploring the
inside of the Blackcomb Glacier Ice Caves! If the
group is up to it we can experience the thrill of
alpinism in a safe environment for beginners. Learn
the basics of ice axe and crampon techniques, self
arrests, glacier travel skills and rope handling.

Glacier Hike -
Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau |
 |
Join the Whistler Alpine
Guides Bureau as we set out from the Roundhouse
Lodge at the top of Whistler Mountain for a Glacier
Hike. Outfitted with crampons, ice axe, harness and
rope, your guide will lead you onto the glacier snow
and ice atop Whistler Mountain. You will be educated
on glaciology and use of equipment in order to
negotiate your way up the glacier like a
mountaineer. Once at the top, enjoy stunning alpine
vistas before descending. Moderate fitness and
agility required. This adventure involves uphill
walking for approximately 45 minutes – please come
dressed to hike. No experience necessary. An
additional $27.00 gondola fee is required.
* Unfortunately, it seems Whistler is experiencing
early winter-like conditions in the alpine, making
the rocks icy and slippery, thus unsafe for the
Scramble. We’ve opted to offer a Glacier Hike in its
place. |
