E-Bike access to the bike park is permitted for 2021. You just need to purchase a regular Bike Park Ticket or Season Pass to gain access to Bike Park. Head to the Mile 1 Quad chairlift to scan your RFID ticket at the Hiking/ Uphill biking entrance. From there follow the flag line up the designated road under the chair lift. No more lift lines, just scan your ticket and pedal up.

*Please note E-Bikes are not permitted on the chairlift. This is mainly a weight issue. If you remove the battery we will permit you in the chair.

Panorama Mountain Resort is surrounded by some of the most rugged mountain terrain in North America. The alpine meadows, forests and valleys are frequented by wildlife. Bears and cougars tend to avoid human-contact so hiking in larger groups and making lots of noise helps avoid aggressive encounters. Wearing bells, talking or singing helps alert animals to your presence without startling them. Do not approach wildlife to take photos. You may consider carrying bear spray; remember that this is a deterrent and not a life-saving device.

Never bike alone! Travel in groups when venturing away from the village. There is safety in numbers. Wear bells, talk or sing. Bears and cougars tend to avoid human contact, so make noise to let them know you are in the area. Always use animal proof garbage bins. Animals are attracted to garbage and once habituated often have to be destroyed. If you see a deer, remember: Give it plenty of room, During fawning season doe are aggressive and territorial in the protection of their young. Guests with dogs must take extra caution. Fawns are well camouflaged and very difficult to see. If you see a bear or cougar: Remain calm; don't panic. Bring children and pets to your side, never approach the animal and do not run from it. Warn others of the animal’s presence, without yelling. If you’re on Panorama mountain, report the sighting and location to a bike park patroller or lift operator. If you are in the village, call Central Check-In by dialing 0 from any phone in the resort.

The Hopeful trails are not part of the Panorama Bike Park. Users must be prepared to overcome the challenges of a remote mountain environment including wildlife, weather, mechanical failures and injury. Make a trip plan and share it. Tell someone when you expect to return. The Hopeful trails are challenging high alpine riding with varied terrain throughout the trail. Experienced riders only should use these trails.

The Valley Trail is a paved multi use trail. The section alongside the Toby Creek that leads from the Adventure Centre is best for families. For others the normal route is to start in the Upper Village near the Pine Inn and down to Greywolf Golf Course and then back to the Adventure Centre and the Village Gondola. This route allows you to work from the top down and ride back up on the free Village Gondola. Please note that although this is a paved route there are some sizeable climbs and descents. Tell someone when you expect to return. Be aware there are pedestrians, families with small children and pets, and in-line skaters who also use this trail.

The Monument Trail Network starts out near the pond and bridge at Greywolf Golf Course with the trail called Placer named after the type of mining that took part in this area. For most, the destination is the Hale Hut which overlooks the Toby Creek Valley and is 3 km from the trailhead. However, this trail network is vast so being cautious of time and keeping your bearings is important. Most of the trails are double track (vehicle width) but there are sections of single track too.
