Whistler

Whistler


Whistler is the largest ski resort in Canada. Set among the spectacular Coast Mountains, just 120km north of Vancouver, the resort is divided onto four distinct areas: Whistler village, Village North, Upper Village, and Creekside. Whistler and Blackcomb mountains have the greatest vertical rises of any ski runs in North America. The skiing here can be among the best in the world with mild Pacific weather, and reliable winter snow. In summer there is skiing on Blackcomb’s Hortsman Glacier.

Although the resort is relatively new (the first ski lift was opened in 1961), Whistler Village offers visitors a full range of facilities. There are lots of places to stay, from comfortable bed-and-breakfast, to luxurious five-star hotels. Café-lined cobbled squares and cozy bars and restaurants cater to a diversity of tastes, while a variety of stores sell everything from ski wear to native arts and crafts in this friendly alpine village.
