About Arbutus Routes
Arbutus Routes is a Whistler bike shop specialising in high-quality bike rentals, professionally guided mountain bike tours, servicing, and retail. Founded in 2003 as Whistler Outback Adventures and rebranded in 2011, they've grown into one of the most respected cycling outfitters in the Sea to Sky corridor, with a prime location in Whistler's Upper Village at the Le Chamois Hotel.
Their rental fleet features top-tier bikes from Yeti, Specialized, Transition, and Cervelo across every category — full-suspension downhill rigs for the Whistler Bike Park, cross-country trail bikes, e-mountain bikes, road bikes, and family-friendly recreational models. All rentals include free helmets and trail maps. Their guided tours are led by PMBIA Level 2 certified instructors and range from scenic Valley Trail rides to challenging singletrack descents through Whistler's legendary trail network.
What sets Arbutus Routes apart is their combination of premium equipment and expert local knowledge. Their mechanics maintain every bike to race-ready standards, and their guides know every trail in the valley by heart. Whether you're a first-timer looking for a gentle lakeside cruise or an experienced rider chasing black-diamond singletrack, they'll match you with the right bike and the right route.
