Ski lifts at the ski resort Whistler Blackcomb

In the Whistler Blackcomb ski area, there are almost exclusively modern and fast chairlifts. A special highlight is the Peak 2 Peak Gondola (3-S), which connects Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. With a length of 4.4 kilometers and a ground clearance of 436 meters, this lift is a world-famous one of a kind. Modern gondola lifts lead from the valley up into the ski area on Whistler Mountain and Blackcomb Mountain. At the very top, on the glacier, there is also a drag lift. Conveyor belts are available for beginners.
