About the Journey

What a great way to experience much of the Whistler Area.  The section over Green Lake is quite challenging but rewarding.  The cycling route closer in to the villages is well known and an absolute joy. Overall it takes in the chain of 5 lakes that make up the Whistler area – Alpha Lake, Nita Lake, Alice Lake, Lost Lake and Green Lake.  Alta Lake and lakes north of it drains northward while Nita Lake and lakes south of it drains to the south. It will take up to hours to complete the whole route with visiting and lunch stops.  Some may choose to just do the easier loop within the village as well as other loops as can be seen on the map.  It is best done in a clockwise direction.

GPS INFORMATION:

  • KML/KMZ files can be opened in Google Earth, and many smartphone apps.
  • GPX files can be opened by most GPS software apps when KMZ cannot. Note, GPX files do not contain custom colours and icons that we use on our maps; all tracks and icons will appear the same colours and styles. We recommend using KMZ instead when possible.
  • GPX-Garmin are GPX files that we have optimized for older Garmin units that only display tracks that contain 500 points or less (such as Garmin eTrex units).

Visit our GPS & Navigation page for instructions of how to use your smartphone as a GPS device (even when outside of data coverage) or how to import data to your Garmin unit.
