Know Before You Go

• The trail network at Blue Mountain Resort is marked with different colour blazes according to the trail you are on and the direction of trail traffic (up-hill or down-hill traffic). Blazes are rectangles of white paint, usually about 15cm high and 5cm wide located on trees, fence posts, or rocks.

• Download the Blue Mountain App before heading out for trail maps, weather and safety information.

• If you lose the trail, return to where you last saw a blaze and look carefully for the next blaze. Always follow proper blazes and stay off closed sections of trail.

• You must have a paid pass to use Blue Mountain Resort hiking trails and Open-Air Gondola – 5x7 and Ikon passholders have access to the trails year-round.

• Walking times are approximate, and based on 15 minutes for every kilometre of horizontal distance, plus 10 minutes for every 100 metres of ascent. Allow for additional time to account for the slowest hiker in your group.
