Zipline Adventures Await

- BY BRIGITTE MAH

Nothing brings a family closer than sharing an adventure, and Ziptrek Ecotours has an array of adventures to explore. Whatever size, shape, or level of excitement your family seeks, they’ll find it at Ziptrek.

Those who want the excitement but like the idea of variety will want to do the Eagle tour. With five ziplines and four treetop suspension bridges, there is time to catch your breath in between each zip, only to lose it again when standing high above the ground, in the treetops.

Families looking for just a taste of adventure combined with a rich environmen­tal experience will delight in the Bear tour. A gentle introducti­on to ziplining, the Bear’s five ziplines build confidence as each line is slightly longer than the one before.

If the kids aren’t old enough to Zipline but want to adventure in the trees, Ziptrek offers the TreeTrek tour, where nine treetop suspension bridges create an enchanting experience that brings all the splendour of aerial and forest canopy views without the speed of a zipline.

Some families want to do it all—and for them, Ziptrek created the Mammoth tour, an adventure-packed half day with lunch included, that combines both the Eagle and Bear tours for an impressive total of ten ziplines and eight treetop suspension bridges. This includes the breathtaki­ng 731-metre signature line of the Eagle tour, which is twinned, offering side-by-side zipping, where family members can race against one another.

Come the summer, the even more adventurou­s can feed their need for speed with the Sasquatch tour, a gravity-defying, record-setting zipline that travels over two kilometres between Whistler and Blackcomb, 182 metres above the ground.

Regardless of what your family’s idea of adventure is, you’ll find it at Ziptrek. For more informatio­n visit ziptrek.com.
