Zip-lining and Canopy Tours

Ziptrek Ecotours. In a rain forest between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, Ziptrek offers tours ranging from Tree Trek walks along suspension bridges through the forest to 10-line, five-hour adrenaline-filled zip-line extravaganzas, including a combo package with the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola. None of them requires any experience, although if you're afraid of heights you should know that the full course includes a heady zip over a canyon far, far below you. (The company claims to have the "longest, highest, and fastest zip lines in North America.") With runs ranging from 400 to 7,000 feet in length, this is a heart-thumping experience worth splurging on for the whole family. 4282 Mountain Sq., Whistler Village, Whistler, British Columbia, V0N 1B4. 604/935–0001; 866/935–0001; www.ziptrek.com.
