Enjoy 35 kilometres of groomed cross-country trails through the Olympic and
Paralympic biathlon and cross-country stadiums, and beneath the impressive ski
jumps. Surrounded by stunning views of the larger Callaghan Valley and Black
Tusk, the ski trails follow alongside waterfalls and past cedar, spruce and
hemlock trees.
When adventure calls, head to the upper Callaghan Valley and Callaghan Lake for
beautiful sub-alpine skiing on groomed trails

The compact two square kilometre 2010 Winter Games core area includes three
separate stadiums located about 500 metres apart.
Approximately 14 kilometres of competition trails for cross-country skiing (two
separate five-kilometre loops) and biathlon (one four-kilometre loop) will be
built in addition to eight kilometres of training trails.
Two ski jumps (normal hill and large hill) will be visible by all visitors as
they enter the venue.
An additional 20 to 25 kilometres of recreational trails will cover spectacular
cross-country ski terrain next to the 2010 Winter Games core area
Directions
The Whistler Olympic Park is located 18 kilometres southwest of Whistler, 50
kilometres north of Squamish and 115 kilometres north of Vancouver, BC.
From Highway to Whistler 99, the centre of Whistler Olympic Park is located 10 kilometres
up the new Callaghan Valley access road.
Nordic and biathlon events run all 17 days and proved to be the most
challenging with scheduling to accommodate two International Sport Federations
and four sport disciplines. |
