Activities: You’ll never be bored in Whistler with plenty of adventurous (and more relaxing!) activities to keep you occupied off the slopes. It is a really good idea to do something other than skiing or snowboarding on your days off – you’ll find you will improve faster if you have 3 days on the hill and 1 day off.
If you would like to give any of these activities a try during your stay in Whistler, just let us know and we are happy to make the reservations for you:
Whistler Village
Whistler is rare among North American resorts where the village is at the foot of the mountain and everything in town is no more than a few minutes away. The main village offers a diverse range of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes along its pedestrian friendly walkways leading from the base of Whistler Mountain. Other services in the village include numerous health and beauty spas, art galleries, liquor stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, internet cafes and souvenir shops.
The Upper Village
At the base of Blackcomb Mountain also offers a range of restaurants and retail stores and is connected by a free shuttle bus to Whistler Village.
Creekside
Whistler Creekside is the original locals’ village and still a great spot to hang out and enjoy the mountain life. There are a variety of restaurants and a small shopping precinct including retail and rental shops, supermarket and liquor store. There is also a gym and of course a gondola for quick access to the slopes!
Whistler Blackcomb takes alpine dining to a whole new level with its on mountain restaurants. From central and convenient to quiet and tucked away – fresh local ingredients, healthy meal options, international flavors and sustainability are the focus at Whistler Blackcomb. You can view all the WB restaurants here.
