Discover Whistler
Whistler is North America's premier mountain resort, consistently ranked the #1 ski destination on the continent. With over 8,100 acres of skiable terrain across two mountains (Whistler and Blackcomb), connected by the spectacular Peak 2 Peak Gondola, the resort offers everything from gentle groomers to extreme backcountry descents.
Best Areas to Stay in Whistler
Whistler Village is a pedestrianized alpine village with ski-in/ski-out access from many hotels. The village stroll connects a network of shops, restaurants, and bars with the gondola base stations. Hotels range from luxury properties like the Fairmont Chateau Whistler and Four Seasons to comfortable mid-range options and budget-friendly lodges.
Where to Book in Whistler
Summer in Whistler is equally impressive. Mountain biking trails rank among the world's best, with the Whistler Mountain Bike Park attracting riders from around the globe. Alpine hiking, ziplining, golf on championship courses, and bear-viewing tours create a year-round resort experience that justifies the 2010 Winter Olympics investment.
Things to Do in Whistler
The dining scene in Whistler Village rivals urban standards. From the acclaimed Araxi Restaurant to the ski-in Wild Blue at the base of Whistler Mountain, from sushi and ramen to craft breweries, the culinary variety is remarkable for a mountain resort. Post-ski, the Garibaldi Lift Co., Longhorn Saloon, and Dubh Linn Gate offer legendary après-ski sessions.
