From scenic trail runs to vibrant markets and blooming wildflowers, June in Whistler is packed with reasons to get outside and explore.
As the month arrives, the transition from spring to summer feels complete. Daytime temperatures settle into the high teens and low twenties, sunshine becomes more reliable, and daylight stretches late into the evening. June also brings a unique mix of events, natural beauty, and early summer energy that makes this one of the most rewarding times to visit the mountains.
One of Canada’s most scenic trail running events returns in June, offering distances for all experience levels. Options typically include a half marathon, 32K, 10K, 5K, and kids’ runs.
Runners follow beautiful routes through Lost Lake trails before finishing in a lively atmosphere at Whistler Olympic Plaza. The weekend often includes community runs and special events, creating an exciting experience for both participants and spectators.
Date: Every Sunday, June Through Early October
Summer truly feels underway once the Whistler Farmer’s Market sets up in the Upper Village. Most Sundays from mid-June onward, local vendors fill the plaza with fresh produce, artisan goods, baked treats, and live entertainment.
It is an easygoing way to spend a Sunday, whether you are shopping, snacking, or simply soaking up the village atmosphere.
Dates: Early June
After Whistler Mountain wraps up winter operations and opens for summer sightseeing, crews clear access to the Peak Chair. This process reveals towering snow walls that often remain in place during early June.
The experience depends on snowpack and weather, but when conditions align, it offers striking alpine views and a rare glimpse of winter lingering into summer.
Date: Mid-June Through August
By mid-June, alpine and subalpine slopes begin to burst into color. Wildflowers like purple fireweed and red Indian paintbrush emerge as snow melts from higher elevations.
Popular hikes around Rainbow Lake, Brandywine Meadows, and Black Tusk viewpoints often showcase early blooms. While timing varies each year, June reliably marks the start of wildflower season in Whistler.
Dates: Throughout June to September
Live music is a summer staple in Whistler, with free outdoor concerts often held at Olympic Plaza. Past seasons have featured a wide range of Canadian and international artists in a relaxed, family-friendly setting.
Lineups are usually confirmed closer to summer, making June a great time to check schedules and catch early-season performances.
Beyond scheduled events, June is an ideal month for outdoor adventure as trails reopen and lakes warm up. Popular activities include:
Peak 2 Peak Gondola sightseeing, offering sweeping valley views
Mountain biking and hiking, with access to Lost Lake Park and the Valley Trail
Paddleboarding and lake time at Alta Lake, Green Lake, and Lost Lake
Summer sliding experiences, including wheeled bobsleigh rides
Indoor attractions also shine this time of year, including visits to the Audain Art Museum, which showcases a distinguished collection of British Columbian art, for a cultural break between adventures.
June typically brings warm days and cooler evenings. Mountain weather can change quickly, so layering is recommended.
Early in the month, snow may still be visible at higher elevations, while valley trails turn green and vibrant. Overall, conditions are well suited to hiking, biking, sightseeing, and lakeside downtime.
Book early: Summer is a popular season in Whistler, especially during events like the Half Marathon and early summer weekends.
Check trail conditions: Local activity desks and trail maps update regularly as snow melts and trails open.
Plan for variety: June’s long days and mild temperatures are great for mixing adventure with more relaxed experiences like markets, sightseeing, and lakeside hangs.
