PEAK 2 PEAK Construction is well underway on one of Whistler Blackcomb’s landmark projects and Canada’s newest tourism icon, the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola. The gondola will revolutionize the way visitors experience Whistler Blackcomb. During the winter, skiers and riders will experience the side-by-side mountains. In the summer, the PEAK 2 PEAK will bring sightseers and hikers into the high alpine to experience breathtaking scenic views. Spanning 4.4 kilometres (2.73 miles) in total , the Doppelmayr 3S tri-cable gondola boasts the world’s longest unsupported span of 3.024 kilometres (1.88 miles) between two towers furthest apart; and the world’s highest lift 436 metres (1,427 feet). Total ride time is 11 minutes with a lift capacity of 4,100 passengers per hour. For more information on this project,visit: whistlerblackcomb.com/peaktopeak. less
