Olympic Park
Whistler Olympic Park
Follow in the tracks of Olympians with a visit to Whistler Olympic Park. Located 30 minutes north of Squamish, the venue played host to nordic skiing and ski jumping events during the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Now, adventurers of all abilities can experience the thrill and beauty of the Callaghan Valley with a range of winter activities including cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, biathlon, and ski jumping. Also open in summer, you can enjoy activities such as the summer biathalon experience, disc golf, hiking and biking, a new Pickleball court, sightseeing, and indoor Day Lodge access that has lounge space and games. Surrounded by five spectacular mountain peaks, the views are as breathtaking as the activities within the park.
