Whistler is a picturesque world-class ski resort town that’s famous for its 2 spectacular mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb. With its vibrant and active location, holidays in Whistler offer a plethora of colourful scenery, adventurous terrain and invigorating activities for a tour in Canada. Prized for its astounding beauty and premier winter sports, Whistler also boasts charming villages that brim with tourist attractions.

Over 2 million visitors head to a holiday in Whistler each year for its alpine skiing, diverse terrains, vertical drops, ski lifts and runs. In addition to skiing, other fun winter activities include snowboarding and snowmobiling. But there’s so much more to Whistler holidays than just skiing. Attractions include a cultural centre, museum and mountain bike park. The gorgeous landscapes and lakes close by offer summer activities such as hiking, camping, canoeing, swimming, white-water rafting, wildlife viewing and of course, mountain climbing. Whistler has a sufficient number of attractions to keep history buffs, thrill seekers and naturalists busy all year round.

The ancient forests and Pacific Coastal Mountains that surround Whistler’s Callaghan Valley are worthy of admiration. Hikers and backpackers love the Valley during the summertime for its wilderness experience. Winter sports lovers revel in cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Also found within this Valley is the Callaghan Lake Provincial Park that’s worth a visit. Callaghan Lake is a beautiful undisturbed wilderness in the stunning backdrop of a rugged mountain terrain and camping here is extremely popular during holidays in Whistler. The natural green space of Fitzsimmons Creek is truly beautiful, and a full-day hike will bring the adventurous close to the Fitzsimmons Glacier and the breathtaking scenery of the Garibaldi Ranges. The spectacular panoramas of Whistler’s parks never seem to end. The wilderness of Garibaldi Park is best enjoyed with views of the Black Tusk in the background, a stunning pinnacle of volcanic rock jutting skyward. Many other picturesque locations within the park await your exploration, including hikes to the Elfin Lakes with their stunning views and unbelievably scenic campsites.

Part of what makes a Whistler holiday so popular is its sense of community, and Whistler Village is where it all comes together. Whistler Village is just one of 3 quaint villages at the base of the Whistler-Blackcomb Mountains. Go here for the bars, hotels, exceptional restaurants, stunning villas and shops. After a day on the slopes of Whistler, winter sports lovers can soothe their sore muscles at the Whistler Fairmont Chateau, a ski lodge with a knack for luxury. Hungry lodgers will be satisfied by the onsite eateries of the Fairmont, as the Lounge with its dark wood and leather interiors wows diners with its après-ski ambiance. Close by and located inside a beautifully designed building is the Squamish & Lil'wat Cultural Centre which takes visitors on a fascinating journey into the art, culture and history of the Squamish and Lil'wat First Nations people of Canada. Taking a guided tour or simply wandering around the Centre’s visually appealing art galleries and exhibits is a worthwhile cultural experience.

The stunning Brandywine Falls offers visitors on holiday in Whistler an unparalleled opportunity to watch changing seasons unfold before their eyes- from the rich autumn foliage colours and the vernal pools of spring. The spectacular Falls boast walking trails that offer panoramic views and there are various hiking and mountain biking attractions inside the park. Nature lovers will enjoy exploring some of the trails in the park whilst relishing the rare and endangered fauna. A detour from Whistler will take you to Alexander Falls, another spectacular waterfall in the Callaghan Valley. Views of the falls are at their most panoramic between May and June when all the snow on the nearby mountains rapidly melts to provide a powerful force of water tumbling over the jagged rocks. The outdoorsy can pack a picnic and admire Mother Nature in all her glory.

This road from Vancouver to Whistler provides one of the most scenic drives you will ever take. This memorable journey winds along the Sea-to-Sky Highway- arguably Canada’s most picturesque drive. Dubbed the best ski resort in the world, Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain is best viewed from the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, which contrasts between the deep white of the snow-capped peaks and lush green forests below. The gondola ride frames the view Whistler-Blackcomb in a canvas of tranquillity as you descend. About fifty black bears live on Whistler and Blackcomb, and nature lovers can go on a tour of the bear’s feeding sites, active dens and places they are known to congregate during summer. Travelling through beautiful, lush forests in a 4x4, visitors can observe the bears from a safe distance.
