My husband and I are heading to Whistler for a few days later this month. We are taking our cruising bikes (for the village and paved trails) and plan to walk the train wreck trail. What else might you suggest for activities and places to eat and drink? We have accommodations already. I have been in the winter and the summer but never this early in the year.
Edit: Any recommendations for vegetarian or vegan would be most welcome.

Ziptrek zip lines are 30% off for this month if you book directly on their site. We are going next weekend

Melanie second the place!!!

Absolutely!

You get what you pay for - lukewarm food, long line to get in and even longer wait for food & drinks. The only thing they have going for them is cheap food.

we have enjoyed it every time .. sorry you had a bad experience..

River of Golden Dreams. We're going the next weekend and are bringing our kayak, but there are rentals available for canoes and kayaks.

Sunday farmers market at the base of blackcomb. After the train go into function junction for a pint at Whistler brewery and/or hit-up Purebread.

Carrie The 2021 market is scheduled to run between 11 am and 4 pm on Sundays from May 23rd until October 10th.
The market’s new venue is the parking lot outside the Whistler Racket Club. It’s in the northwest corner of the main part of Whistler Village. The Racket Club’s address is 4500 Northlands Boulevard.

Tag Whistler, bungee jumping, Scandinavian spa , walking in the village, Audain museum, Whistler brew house

So much to do - check out the Vancouver Sun and province today and Saturday - each have a spread with what to do in Whistler
Also Tourism Whistler site is a great resource

Bike the Pemberton Valley. There is a craft beer place along the way. Went last year, it was a good ride.

Great eats at: Rim Rock Restaurant, The Mexican Corner restaurant, The Mallard Lounge.
Do the "Summer Vallea Lumina" experience by The Adventure Group.

Michele I have the Summer Vallea Lumina on my list as well. I understand that you can only book two days in advance.

The gondola in Squamish has a great patio, nice hikes, fabulous views and an ok kitchen. It’s a lovely place to have a glass of cheer and watch a sunset.

Creekbread for pizza - the best!

Purebread for baked goodies (although they now have 2 locations in Vancouver)

Audrina museum is awesome!

The Raven Room in the Pan Pacific hotel was a real
Find. Excellent menu at a reasonable price and fantastic gin cocktails! https://www.theravenroom.ca. Also Hunter Gather on Main Street.

THE RAVEN ROOM

Rim Rock Cafe...if you like fish and seafood and an extensive well priced wine menu. Reserve ahead. Enjoy Whistler.

Splits Burgers! Kinda like a subway but for burgers.

21 steps has great food

I live in Whistler and have walked the Train Wreck trail half a dozen times in the past month. You may want something beefier than “cruising bikes” to ride Train Wreck, or maybe consider walking Train Wreck and enjoy your “cruising bikes” on the paved Valley Trail, which runs the entire length of Whistler.

Margaret we plan on walking the train wreck trail and cruising around the trails in the village. Thanks for the warning though.

Depending on your budget, the Rim Rock is a MUST.

Rim Rock Cafe

I think the trail you're thinking of is "Runaway Train". I agree with Margaret... not for cruising bikes. Mountain bikes only. It's rated as a black diamond trail requiring some trials skills. Better to walk it if you're keen...

Joe yes we plan on walking it,

@vallea lumina whistler is amazing!

Paddle the River of Golden Dreams and the hike Cheakamas Lake, Alexander falls hike.

Whistler 'main street' is small. Just look at the menues that are displayed and you'll find something.

Gwena it drives me crazy doing that. I’d rather have a limited recommended number to check out.

I understand.

for a casual meal Creekbread has vegetarian options. Also Red Door (must reserve well in advance as is tiny but fabulous) Green Moustache cafe is fabulous for vegetarian lunches.

Eds bred! Completely vegan. In creekside

Katie Seifert

The cure lounge at Nita lake Lodge in Creekside has a vegan menu....the cauliflower is awesome! We cycle from whistler along the valley trail to get there. It's a nice easy bike ride and great patio!

Pure bread in whistler always has some yummy vegan baked goods....if you want a longer ride (ok for cruisers but a longish ride) you can go to function junction where there are 2 vegan friendly breweries!

Best by far and veg and vegan Masala Indian@hilton delish and not a rip-off

We are planning to go to Araxi. I have always thought "one day" and that day is coming soon.
