Mountain Biking Weekend in Whistler: 48-Hour Itinerary

14/05/2025

Whistler is a mountain biker’s dream, and there’s no better way to spend a weekend than chasing dirt during the day and good times at night. Whether you’re here for fast laps in the Bike Park or scenic singletrack around Lost Lake, this 48-hour itinerary has you covered, complete with prime trail access, lively après patios and a comfy bed waiting at Listel Whistler, a Coast Hotel.

Day 1: Cross-Country Flow Riding at Lost Lake + Village Vibes

Afternoon

After checking in at Listel Whistler, a Coast Hotel, roll straight out to the Lost Lake Trail Network—accessible right from the Village. These free, multi-use trails offer everything from smooth beginner loops to more technical cross-country routes. Here are a few local favourites:

  • Tin Pants – A gentle, wide trail ideal for warm-ups and newer riders
  • Grand Wazoo – A flowy singletrack with light tech and excellent rhythm
  • Pinocchio’s Furniture – More advanced, with rooty sections and short climbs
  • Gypsy Drum – A fun loop for linking sections together on a longer ride

Pro tip: Check out these trails and more on Trailforks

Evening

Cool down with a Village patio session. GLC (Garibaldi Lift Co.) is great for beers and people-watching with your bike crew. If the night carries on, head to Longhorn Saloon for music, pitchers and a proper Whistler après vibe.

Day 2: Whistler Bike Park All Day + Elevated Après

Morning & Afternoon

Fuel up at Forecast Coffee, then make your way to the Whistler Mountain Bike Park for a full day of lift-access riding. With zones ranging from flowy beginner trails to steep pro-level lines, you’ll want to maximize your ticket. Start with:

  • Crank It Up – Fast, smooth berms and jumps for intermediate riders
  • B-Line – A go-to progression trail perfect for building confidence
  • Blue Velvet – For those ready to go a bit bigger, with tables and machine-built speed
  • Dirt Merchant (Lower) – Iconic features and air time for advanced riders

Evening

Wrap up with dinner at Bearfoot Bistro—just downstairs from your room. It’s upscale, yes, but never stuffy. Sip cocktails, check out the Grey Goose Ice Room experience, and share a few elevated bites to celebrate a weekend well spent.

Day 3: Brunch, Gear Checks & One Last Look

Morning

Treat yourself to brunch at Stonesedge Kitchen or fuel up with grab-and-go from Mount Currie Coffee Co. Before heading home, check out local bike shops like Evolution or Fanatyk Co. to stock up on gear or trail maps.

Midday

Take the long way home down the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with potential pit stops at Brandywine Falls or Squamish’s A-Frame Brewing Co. to extend the weekend vibe a little longer.
