Dog-Friendly Adventures
Experience the Best Winter Activities in Whistler with Your Pup
Whistler is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and that includes dogs too! With plenty of dog-friendly amenities and activities, there's no reason to leave your pup behind when planning your ski vacation this season. Whether you’re looking for an off-leash adventure, a scenic stroll, or even some shopping, Whistler has it all for you and your pup. Here are some of the best ways to enjoy Whistler with your dog:
Cross Country Skiing
Enjoy Whistler’s free multi-use Valley Trail in the winter. A 3.8km stretch from Meadow Park to Rainbow Park is groomed for cross-country skiing, and dogs are permitted off-leash during the winter months.
Explore the Sea to Sky’s largest off-leash area at Whistler Olympic Park. With wide-open spaces, your dog can run alongside you while you ski through the breathtaking alpine scenery.
Snowshoeing
Take in the stunning mountain views while snowshoeing at Whistler Olympic Park. Your pup will love running through the snow, making for an unforgettable adventure.
Village Stroll & Shopping
Wander through Whistler Village, where many retail shops welcome dogs inside. While restaurants and cafés do not permit dogs indoors, several retail shops will even keep treats on hand for furry visitors.
Off-Leash Dog Parks
Let your pup run around and socialize at one of Whistler’s designated off-leash dog parks:
-
Meadow Park (when the field is not in use)
-
Spruce Grove (when the field is not in use)

Arfa Park (Alpha Lake)
-
Bayly Park (Cheakamus)
