Renowned as both a winter and summer sports destination, Whistler charms visitors throughout the year. Discover a unique alpine location, spectacular natural scenery and a lively social scene centred around the village restaurants, hotels, shops and bars. A luxury holiday in Whistler delivers the ultimate feel-good break whether it's sport, adventure or relaxation that's high on the agenda.

Nestled between the giant Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, this picturesque alpine village overlooks a magnificent, unspoiled landscape. Located just a two-hour drive along the scenic Highway 99 from the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, this getaway has become the go-to for the glitterati of the west coast. Whistler's reputation as one of the world's great ski resorts was reinforced in 2010 when the town hosted the Winter Olympics. Skiers, snowboarders and winter sport enthusiasts of all levels are drawn by the exhilarating environment, excellent powder, five-star facilities and convivial aprés-ski scene.

Interestingly, Whistler attracts more visitors during the summer months when the alpine landscape, free from its snow, takes on a different persona and becomes a playground for those looking to explore the great outdoors on foot. August is particularly popular, as that's when the region's wildflowers bloom and the landscape is a riot of colour. Frequently described as an alpine paradise, Whistler is a luxury destination in every sense.

Visitors can choose from five-star resorts and chic boutique hotels, or get that bit closer to nature in an exclusive mountainside condo. Away from the ski slopes and mountain trails, Whistler boasts a lively social scene which revolves around its pedestrianised village. At night in the bars and restaurants kick into gear, and deliver memorable aprés-ski experiences to round-off the day.
