Visitors find an undeniable spark in Whistler – an energy that lights up smiles, powers lasting memories and draws them back to the resort year after year. Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Whistler is Canada’s premier year-round destination resort. No matter the season, Whistler offers a welcoming and worldclass experience with something for everyone.

Add all the amenities and comforts of a city, plus more outdoor adventure activities and lively events than you could possibly experience in just one trip, and it’s easy to see why Whistler is consistently voted the number one resort in North America.

During the summer, visitors sightsee and hike on Whistler Mountain, exploring alpine meadows bursting with colourful wildflowers, while thousands more ski and snowboard on Blackcomb’s Horstman Glacier. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is now widely regarded as the premier mountain bike park in the world. Opened in 1999, the Bike Park features more than 45 trails from beginner to intermediate and advanced, three skills centres and two jump park areas.

Whistler’s base elevation starts at just over 600 metres / 2,000 feet, with a peak elevation ending at 2,182 metres / 7,160 feet, so you can enjoy your vacation without feeling winded. And it doesn’t stop there! You can also enjoy aerial sightseeing, bungee jumping, kayaking, golfing, fishing, glacier tours, Zip lining, historical touring, and more.
