Why Visit Whistler
Whistler’s appeal extends far beyond its legendary slopes. While it’s home to one of the largest ski resorts in North America, this alpine village transforms throughout the year into a haven for luxury travelers seeking both high-octane adventure and serene relaxation. During the winter months, visitors enjoy exclusive access to pristine backcountry terrain with private heli-skiing and snowcat excursions. For a more relaxed pace, the pedestrian-friendly village offers luxury shopping boutiques, high-end art galleries, and fireside lounges perfect for après-ski indulgence.
In the warmer seasons, Whistler’s rugged beauty becomes a playground for exclusive outdoor experiences. From private guided hikes along the scenic alpine trails of Garibaldi Provincial Park to heli-hiking and mountain picnics overlooking glacial lakes, every experience is curated for intimacy and wonder. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at championship courses designed by legends like Jack Nicklaus, while wellness seekers indulge in transformative spa retreats at world-renowned facilities like the Scandinave Spa.
Culinary excellence thrives here as well. Whistler boasts a vibrant dining scene led by acclaimed chefs who celebrate British Columbia’s rich bounty. Enjoy exclusive chef’s table experiences at the highly regarded Bearfoot Bistro, or dine under the stars with a gourmet mountain-top meal accessible only by private gondola.
