Passenger Bobsleigh in Whistler
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Your Passenger Bobsleigh Experience begins with an orientation about your ride and track etiquette. You will then be shuttled to your start position where you will be fitted with a helmet. You will meet your pilot, and with the assistance of the track crew, be seated in the sled and go through the final safety checks. Listen as your team’s names are being announced on the big speakers! Once the control tower gives your sled the green light, track crew will give you a push, and you, your pilot, and your two fellow participants are off! As you will accelerate down the track, lean into the corners to assist your steering pilot in reaching top speeds of 125+ km/hr in the final corner. The uphill outrun will slow you to a stop at the finish dock, where the track crew will assist you to exit the sled. High five with your crew and line up for your commemorative photo. You have mastered the world's fastest track!

5.00Brilliant experience and well worth it. Expertly managed and they are completely on top of all the health and safety elements. If you have the opportunity to do this..I’d encourage you to do it. I went on my own and joined other guests in the bobsleigh and was fine. We had a member of the Olympic team piloting ours too. There also people of all ages on our session.
Great experience

5.00Quite a unique experience. The instructor almost scared me off this trip, but I am so glad I tried. Will never forget the thrill and the feeling of relief when the Bobsleigh stooped in the end. Totally worth the try.
Brilliant experience

5.00Brilliant and fun. We were a family of six, all the staff were friendly and professional. We were a family of 6 with an age range from 60 to 25 and everyone had a fantastic experience.
Go for it.

5.00Although it seems scary at first, it turned out to be a wonderful experience and everybody had fun. Don’t let all the scary waivers and warnings chase you away from a wonderful experience. Suck it up and do it.
You just have to do it!

5.00Please understand that they have to scare the living daylights out of you before you ride BUT if you can make it past the scary warnings, it is totally worth it. Though the ride is short it is completely exhilarating, and you walk away with a true appreciation of what those athletes do. Mackenzie was our driver and she did great. The Winter Olympics will never look the same. I am tall and got bruises on my upper arms from the sleigh but bruises aside, it was the most unique experience I had on my trip to Whistler. Do it!!
Short and Exhilarating

5.00This was a BLAST! Be advised, they will scare you in the briefing/intro time. It’s a good thing! I saw a couple of people get a free refund and step aside to watch their friends and family. However, it was such a good experience. You will get thrown around a little, but keep your back straight and tall and you’ll be alright! It was 41 seconds for us (dang, 11th place for the day), but what a thrill! It’s the fastest track you can publicly bobsled on worldwide! What a cool experience. Phillipe was knowledgeable and honest, and our pilot was HILARIOUS. They had lots of jokes. Cross your fingers that you’re in the first group (you’ll stay warmer in the -5C/23F weather that way). Amazing experience overall! This has to be one of your excursions if you’re visiting. We drove up from Vancouver and it was worth every second!
Fun, funny experience

5.00Amazing experience. All the staff were extremely enthusiastic and funny. They drill into your head about the safety very seriously if you are going bobsledding, and the actual sledding was fantastic. Would sit in the 4th seat again
