Introducing Beyond Whistler
Luxury Ice Cave Experiences on BC’s Remote Glaciers
There’s a moment, just before the helicopter lifts off, when the noise of the world fades and all that’s left is anticipation. Minutes later, you’re soaring over ancient ice, volcanic peaks, and deep-blue crevasses that few people will ever see in their lifetime.
Welcome to Beyond Whistler - a new chapter of luxury adventure on British Columbia’s remote glaciers.
A New Name for a Legendary Landscape
Beyond Whistler is the evolution of Head-Line Mountain Holidays, a long-standing operator known for its luxury experiences across the Pemberton Icefield - one of Canada’s southernmost glacial regions.
Under this new name, the vision is clear: to guide guests beyond the ordinary, into remote alpine landscapes for experiences they will never forget.
“After more than a decade of exploring this region, this next chapter represents our ongoing commitment to delivering unforgettable, world-class experiences in one of the most extraordinary landscapes in Canada.”
- John Stibbard, Partner and Manager of Marketing and Sales.
With exclusive tenure on the Pemberton Icecap, Beyond Whistler offers something truly rare: access to a remote, ever-changing ice world that remains largely untouched
Discover the Whistler Ice Cave Experience
At the heart of the brand is the Whistler Ice Cave Experience - a signature tour designed to showcase the beauty, power, and stillness of the glacier in one unforgettable day.
Each tour is led by expert local guides with extensive experience in mountain travel, glacier safety, and guest care. Their goal? To help you feel grounded, informed, and fully present in a landscape that can feel almost otherworldly.
Here’s what a typical five-hour experience includes:
Scenic flight with Blackcomb Helicopters from Whistler to the Pemberton Icefield
Tracked vehicle ride across the glacier, weaving through ancient ice formations
Guided ice cave exploration, led by seasoned mountain experts
Gourmet mountain meal overlooking the Coast Mountain range
Custom itineraries can also include:
Professional photography and videography
Extended scenic helicopter flights
Champagne service
Private chef-prepared meals, in collaboration with top local chefs
Operated year-round (weather and snowpack permitting), this small-group experience is designed for guests who crave more than a standard sightseeing tour. It’s for those who want a front row seat to the magic of the mountains, to feel the crunch of ancient ice underfoot, listen to stories of the glacier’s history, and stand inside luminous ice caves carved over centuries.
Respect for the Land
Beyond Whistler operates throughout the Sea to Sky corridor, with experiences taking place on the shared, unceded territories of the Lil’wat Nation (L̓il̓wat7úl) and the Squamish Nation (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh). The team acknowledges, with gratitude, the privilege of working, guiding, and sharing stories on these lands. Spending time on the glacier is a privilege - and Beyond Whistler treats it that way.
“It’s an incredible privilege to guide guests through this landscape, and our goal is to do so with the utmost respect for the environment and the remarkable places we explore,”
- Marc Cousineau, Partner and General Manager.
The team is committed to operating with care: limiting group sizes, working within strict safety and operational guidelines, and continually adapting to the changing conditions of the icefield.
Your Next Adventure, Beyond the Village
Whether you’ve visited Whistler many times or are planning your first trip, exploring the glacier by helicopter offers a completely different perspective on this world-famous mountain region. If you’ve ever dreamed of walking through shimmering ice caves or visiting a remote glacier far beyond the ski hill, this might be the adventure you’ve been waiting for.
