Whistler is a nature and winter wonderland. Rustic chalets and cosy cabins line the streets of the town with a few cottage-style apartments thrown in for good measure. Just walking down the sidewalk with a Mount Currie Coffee Company coffee in hand will make you feel as if you're stepping right into a postcard.
Pubs, cafes and everything in between
While it's convenient to cook in your Whistler accommodation, exploring the local cuisine can also be exciting. You can expect to find a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, and many that serve poutine – a truly Canadian creation. Head to Zog's Dogs or Southside Diner to try their versions of the dish and see which one will become your local poutine hotspot.
When you’re not preparing your own meals, and are ready for some light mingling, Beacon Pub & Eatery will put you at ease and make your stomach happy. This adorable spot is exactly what you'd imagine a pub in the middle of a ski village would look like: inviting, cosy, intimate and aesthetically pleasing. Whether the sun is shining on their patio or you’re staying warm inside while soft white flakes fall, you’ll feel welcomed.
The ultimate nature lovers' destination
There's plenty of activities to enjoy in Whistler year round, nearly all of them in nature. But don't worry if you're along for ride: there’s plenty of shopping, nightlife, great restaurants and spas to choose from too. In Whistler, you can try your hand at white water rafting, skiing and snowboarding at Blackcomb, hiking the trails in the warmer months, or enjoying gondola rides through the clouds to the top of the Coast Mountains.
Take the Peak 2 Peak Gondola up into the mountains around Whistler to begin any number of the trails in the area. You can embark on short hikes or multi-day excursions which will take you past stunning waterfalls, glaciers, mountain vistas and alpine meadows.
Bottom's Up at the Whistler Village Beer Festival
If you’ve always wanted to visit a festival where everyone looks like they’ve stepped out of a lumberjack catalogue, then the Whistler Village Beer Festival is for you. The main stage is housed in the Olympic Plaza and the festival takes place over four days where you get to try local beers from British Columbia and all around Canada.
There are tons of activities to take part in during Whistler Village Beer Festival too, such as game stations, food vendors, many beer stalls and great performances. Although it’s all about beer, this isn’t the type of festival where you'll be partying until the wee hours; the last pour ends early so you can get up early and carry on exploring.
