1. PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola
Located about two hours from Vancouver in Whistler, the longest and tallest gondola in the world when it opened, the PEAK 2 PEAK delivers jaw-dropping views as it travels 4.3 km (2.7 miles) from Whistler's Roundhouse to Blackcomb's Rendezvous Lodge, which sits at an elevation of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet). Two gondolas have a glass-floor viewing area that are worth the extra few minutes' wait; there's a separate lineup for these. A day pass may seem costly until you realize that you can ride PEAK 2 PEAK as many times as you wish, plus travel up and down both Whistler and Blackcomb on a fully enclosed gondola system, a 13.5 km (8.3 miles) loop forming the longest continuous lift system in the world. In summer, the ski runs and the rest of the mountainsides open up to 50 km (31 miles) of incredible hiking. Discounts are offered for multiple days.

2. Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre
A collaborative project located on the shared territories of the Squamish Nation and Lil'wat Nation, this cultural center is designed to celebrate these two distinct Salish Nations. The concrete, cedar, and fir structure melds the longhouse concept of the coastal Squamish people with the traditional pit house of the interior Lil’wat people. Inside, carvings adorn the walls and displays of art, artifacts, and tools reveal the similarities and differences of the Nations. Try to catch one of the regularly scheduled guided tours offered on the hour, every hour, 10 am–4 pm. The on-site café, which serves contemporary food with a First Nations twist, is worth a visit itself.

3. Audain Art Museum
Nestled behind some trees, this museum's architecture is just as striking as the art inside. The collection, donated by Michael Audain and his wife Yoshiko Karasawa, has something for everyone—from over two dozen Emily Carr works to Northwest Coast masks to Vancouver photo-conceptualist works. They also host regular lectures and workshops.

4. Blackcomb Gondola
Opened in December 2018, this 10-person, Doppelmayr lift carries 184 cable cars and transports 4,000 people per hour as it runs from the Upper Village to the Rendezvous Lodge on Blackcomb Mountain. The three consecutive gondola rides—Blackcomb, P2P, and Whistler Village Gondola—form a continuous lift system of 13.5 km (8 miles) and take 43 minutes of ride time to complete. It is the longest continuous lift system in the world.

You can book a tour and tasting at their small facility in Function Junction or order a cocktail in Whistler Village at one of the many restaurants and bars that carry their spirits: The Raven Room, Basalt, Bearfoot, and more.

6. Vallea Lumina
Once the sun sets, head to Vallea Lumina, just a short drive from the Village. Here, you'll meander through the old-growth forest on a 1.5-kilometer (almost 1-mile) hike to take in the mesmerizing light, sound, and art displays in the dark. When you're done, head to the campfire for a snack and games. Make sure to book your tickets in advance. In the busy season, there is a complimentary shuttle from the Village to the venue.
