Whistler is where you meet the Coast Mountains and escape to wild places.
Whistler – a charming mountain town – is a home to the largest ski resort in North America, hosted many disciplines of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and is a major summer destination where visitors from all over the world come to experience the natural beauty Canada is known for.
The wider Whistler area, including towns of Squamish and Pemberton, offers tremendous access to real wilderness.
With their eyes wide open, hiking lovers and mountain runners quickly realize this place must have been custom crafted for them.
There is nothing like spending time in the Coast Mountains. They are mysterious, they change quickly, they could be dangerous, but they are always immensely rewarding. It’s where we connect with nature, look deep inside, and where we are forced to relax.
Lakes, peaks, glaciers, meadows, waterfalls, marmots, bears… Coast Mountains offer more than you can absorb in a life time.
