Winter
Whistler is a total wonderland come winter. Blue skies, soft snow, glistening icicles and sparkling lakes make this a magical Christmas escape. The incredible PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola is a must in winter. This Guinness world record-breaking gondola is the longest and highest in the world. And it gives you spectacular 360-degree views mountain to mountain. The 11-minute journey takes you to the highest of alpine terrains right to the peak of the Blackcomb mountains. Here you can experience rooftop dining on the summit and take in breathtaking views of volcanic peaks and age-old glaciers. Of course, there’s also world-class skiing, snowboarding and a host of other snowy activities. These include Nordic skiing, bob sledding, ice-skating and snowshoeing. You can stroll through a winter wonderland in the pedestrianized village. Or perhaps take advantage of the freshest snow on thrilling Powder mornings. And of course, don’t forget to make the most of the wild and glamorous world of après ski. If you want a magical winter vacation that seamlessly combines high-octane adventure with rest and relaxation, Whistler hits the spot. The air is fresh, the scenery is spellbinding, and the people are lovely. It’s a lifestyle you just won’t want to leave behind.
Whether you visit Whistler in summer or winter, you are guaranteed a trip of a lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Put Canada on your wish list today!
