AN INTRODUCTION TO WHISTLER

Whistler Village
Within the village you will find a variety of hotels and private accommodation that can be rented on a nightly basis. Additionally, many retail locations in the village offer a cross section of services applicable to the season.
Whistler Village has a vibe that is intoxicating and is one of the principal reasons so many visitors return to enjoy everything the resort offers, winter, spring, summer or fall!
A Winter Wonderland
However, in addition to the towering peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, we also have Armchair, Rainbow, Wedge and many others, all within hiking distance. The Mountain scenery is truly breathtaking throughout all the seasons.
There is something very special about the winter snowfall that transforms the mountains and their many lakes and forests into a Winter Wonderland. Even if riding on snow is not your thing, you have to come and see this place!


Lakes, Rivers and Trails
We also have numerous outdoor parks that are extremely well managed and maintained, providing guests with unforgettable hiking and biking experiences. And, in addition to a vast array of mountain trails, we are very proud of our Valley Trail, a wonderful walking or biking experience that connects all the Whistler neighbourhoods from North to South.
Mountain Biking
Now recognized as the epitome of all mountain biking experiences, Whistler offers beginners and experts a biking adventure like nowhere else in the world, including an on-mountain bike park that annually hosts world-class festivals and events.
But that’s not all, in addition to the adrenaline rush from downhill biking, riders can also enjoy the vast network of single-track mountain bike trails throughout the Whistler Valley.


Golf in the Mountains
All the courses have won numerous awards and accolades from publications around the world. So, when combined with a wonderful après-golf experience within the clubhouses and throughout Whistler Village, it’s no wonder that golf in Whistler has driven our summer visitor numbers sky high as we attract visitors from far and wide.
A Vibrant Local Community
Our local community is full of life and of course we all love the great outdoors. I like to say that most of us probably came for the mountain experience, but stayed because of the people. With everything you would ever need for your family within close proximity, Whistler is truly an awesome place to call home.


Arts & Culture
Our local community and our visitors from around the world are fortunate to be able to visit the amazing Audain Art Museum and the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre, two of BC’s most popular artistic and cultural destinations. Additionally, Whistler hosts annual musical events every year within our Olympic Plaza, as well as other well known film and culinary events. In short, we are spoilt for choice!
Schools and Childcare
Nestled within our neighbourhoods are two elementary schools and the Whistler High School. Additionally, parents could choose to send their children to the French Ecole La Passerale or the Whistler Waldorf School.
Or if childcare is needed, Whistler offers numerous childcare facilities scattered throughout the valley.


Health & Welfare
Anchoring our local health care is the Whistler Health Care Centre, providing emergency and general health care services. With state-of-the-art medical facilities, including on-site radiology, a CT scanner and a medical laboratory, complimented by a staff of doctors and nurses, the centre is well positioned to care for all.
Additionally, Whistler has numerous community health and outreach programmes to ensure everyone is well cared for in times of need.
Lastly, we must mention our wonderful spas, providing an inviting place to heal, unwind and totally relax. Located in spectacular outdoor and indoor locations, locals and visitors can experience amazing world-class spa and treatment facilities in pristine and tranquil settings.
