Nestled in the mountains just 120 kms north of Vancouver, you will drive what is considered to be one of the most beautiful roads in the world and come to the resort of Whistler. The trip up the highway takes you through Sea to Sky country and along the ocean to disappear into the mountains. There are excellent photo opportunities all the way, not to mention several beautiful waterfalls to visit before you get to the resort.
Whistler/Blackcomb resort is renowned as one of the best ski areas in the world but many will agree that summer in Whistler is just as thrilling as the winter season. Whatever your age, Whistler offers a variety of outdoor pursuits.
In the summertime, there are beautiful walking trails and a visit to the top of the mountain to get a birds eye view of the Coastal mountains is an absolute must. There are three world class golf courses, mountain biking or just a leisurely canoe trip up the river of Golden dreams are just a few of the wonderful summer activities.
Whistler village is nicely designed and has a real European flavour to it. With over 100 restaurants and bars to choose from, you will certainly find something
to satisfy every palate.
Winter activities include downhill skiing on either mountain and with over 200 trails to ski, you 'll find it difficult to cover the vast ski area. Cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing are also very popular. Any of the B&Bs on this site will be able to offer you ski packages.
Don't forget to include Whistler in your travel plans as no visit to beautiful BC would be complete without it!
