based on 5,439 reviewsLocated in Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver, Grouse Mountain is known as the "Top of Vancouver" and is only 15 minutes' drive from the city center. This is a paradise for outdoor sportsmen. It is suitable for hiking in summer, and you can enjoy the beautiful skyline of Vancouver. 1. Play experience There is a platform built on Grouse Mountain, and there are humorous lumberjack performances and wonderful eagle training performances every day. There is a small grizzly bear sanctuary nearby, which attracts people every day. Here, grizzly bears live completely in a natural ecological environment. Because they are raised by breeders, they are not aggressive and can be close-up. Observe and appreciate. 2. Skiing experience Grouse Mountain divides 25 slopes into ski runs of different levels of difficulty. Among them, the popular Cut Slope is favored by skilful skiers. All 13 ski slopes provide night lighting. Skiing can also enjoy the bright night view of Vancouver. 3. Cable car experience Grouse Mountain has the largest cable car in North America, SkyRide. On the way to the top of the mountain, you can slowly climb 900 meters. There are beautiful mountain views. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can overlook the panoramic view of Vancouver. The fast ropeway and wind eye project are even more popular with adventurers. You can go directly to the 20-story wind power tower through the elevator, and experience the visual feast of standing on the "top of Vancouver".
Other visitors' reviews of Grouse Mountain Peak
Show More ReviewsGrouse is a top choice for hiking in Vancouver, with the biggest advantage being the cable car ride down, which helps protect your knees and avoids the safety hazards of descending. The climb is approximately 800 meters, with two routes: one is a more man-made, steeper route, while the other is a natural path maintained by volunteers and is slightly gentler, but still quite challenging overall. The shortest recorded climb is in about 20 minutes, but most people take between one and two hours. In the summer of 2025, a new record was set: someone climbed to the top and took the cable car down (which takes 6-8 minutes) 21 times in one day. Grouse is holding a series of centennial celebrations this year. For tourists from all over the world, especially those arriving by cruise ship in the summer, there are free shuttle buses from the cruise terminal to the starting point, making it very convenient for everyone to explore.
