safety & stewardship

At Beyond Whistler, guest safety and care for the land are at the heart of everything we do. Every journey into the mountains is guided by experienced professionals, industry-leading practices, and a deep respect for the natural beauty of the Pemberton Icefield.

Safety First

We want our guests to feel confident and secure throughout their experience. Our expert guides are certified in backcountry safety and wilderness first aid, and every adventure is planned with careful consideration of weather, terrain, and group dynamics. Before each tour, guests receive a full briefing, along with any required safety equipment and instructions.

Responsible Tourism

The Icefield is more than a destination - it’s a living ecosystem. We are committed to operating with the highest standards of environmental stewardship to ensure its preservation for generations to come.

Our stewardship commitments include:

Practicing Leave No Trace principles on every tour

Partnering with local and provincial organizations for sustainable tourism

Monitoring seasonal changes to minimize environmental impact

Educating guests on the history, ecology, and cultural significance of the land
