Whistler, BC Travel Agent Expert

Whisltler Blackcomb Resort

Whistler is a rare destination that delivers year-round. Built around two interconnected mountains and anchored by a pedestrian-only village, it offers the scale of a world-class alpine resort alongside the accessibility of a close-knit mountain town. Because the terrain and town cater to all skill levels and budgets, it is ideal for groups traveling together. Located just a two-hour drive from Vancouver International Airport along a well-maintained highway near sea level, it provides an easy drive without winter chaining concerns.

Winter on the Slopes

With over 8,100 acres of skiable terrain across Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, the variety here is matched by very few places in North America. The two mountains are linked by the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, making mid-day crossovers seamless.

• Peak-to-Creek: A continuous 11km (7-mile) descent from Whistler Peak to Creekside Base. Starting as a blue run and finishing green, it offers sustained valley views for intermediate skiers.
• Blackcomb Glacier Bowl: A standout area for advanced skiers seeking steep lines and open bowls on fresh snow days, accessible via the Showcase T-Bar and a short hike.
• Olympic Legacy: Explore 2010 Winter Olympic facilities like the Whistler Sliding Centre for bobsleigh experiences or cross-country trails at Olympic Park.

Summer & Off-Mountain Recreation:

In summer, the resort becomes an outdoor playground anchored by the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, featuring over 4,900 vertical feet of downhill trails. For non-bikers:

• Alpine Sightseeing & PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola: Enjoy 360-degree views of glaciers, volcanic peaks, and alpine lakes between both peaks.
• Alpine Hiking: Access over 50 kilometers of trails, including the High Note Trail on Whistler past Black Tusk and the Decker Loop on Blackcomb. You can also hike the 6.1km Blackcomb Ascent Trails through old-growth rainforest.
• Attractions & Excursions: Cross the high-elevation Cloudraker Skybridge at Whistler Peak, climb the Via Ferrata route, or book valley ziplining, river rafting, and UTV tours.

Village Life & Dining:

Whistler Village’s pedestrian plazas let you step straight off the lifts into town. Beyond retail shops and the nearby Scandinave Spa, the village features group entertainment like axe throwing, Escape! Whistler, local dance classes, and cultural exhibits at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre.

The dining scene covers all preferences and budgets:

• On-Mountain Fine Dining: Enjoy Pacific Northwest cuisine and local BC wines at Christine’s on Blackcomb (inside Rendezvous Lodge) or Steeps Grill & Wine Bar on Whistler Mountain.
• Iconic Mountain Treats: Stop at Crystal Hut atop the Crystal Chair for fresh buttermilk waffles or Chic Pea for hot cinnamon buns.
• Village & Base Area Après: Choose from quick options like Subway or Garbo's Grill, legendary après spots like Dusty's in Creekside and Garibaldi Lift Co. (GLC), or multi-course fine dining in the village.
