Finished in time for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the breathtaking Peak to Peak Gondola connecting Whistler and Blackcomb mountains breaks world records. Crossing the sky at 1430 feet above the valley floor, it’s the highest lift of its kind anywhere. Only four towers hold up the cable spanning the 2.7 mile distance, two on one mountain and two on the other. In between lies the longest unsupported span on earth, nearly 2 miles long. While not for the faint of heart, the Peak to Peak Gondola is a wonder to behold, and the eleven-minute ride, in winter or summer, is unforgettable. If you have time, wait in the special line to get in one of the two glass-bottomed gondolas.
