Top class skiing in Whistler

At a glance


Whistler was proud to host many of the events during the 2010 Olympic & Paralympic Games.

12 Feb to 21 March 2010.


This west coast mountain resort is world-renowned as being North America’s biggest and best - both in area & vertical. The 216km of pistes cover two mountains & are linked by an impressive high-speed lift system. Whether a complete novice or a downhill Olympian, there is an amazing choice of well laid out, maintained & signposted slopes. Beginners learn quickly with excellent tuition while intermediates & advanced skiers & boarders revel in the sheer variety of piste & deep powder bowls available.

The accommodation we feature is in one of the two most conveniently located, pedestrianised village areas, each lying at the foot of their respective mountain & a short ten minute walk apart. Both Blackcomb & Whistler Villages are teeming with shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars & clubs & there are many exciting on & off slope activities to try out. It’s a party town with a relaxed west coast buzz & a roaring après-ski scene.

CHILDCARE - Available In Resort

There are excellent crèche facilities for children aged from 3 months to 3 years, and a Ski Kindergarten for children from 3 year. For details call direct on 001 604 932 3928.

We highly recommend Whistler/Blackcomb's 5 day adventure camps. For age groups 3-4 years, 7-12 years and 13-18 years, these programmes offer 5 days with the same instructor and the same group resulting in fast friendships, excellent skill progression and tons of fun.

VANCOUVER CITY ADD-ON

It's a bit further to go than Europe so you'll probably want to stay at least 10 or 11 nights and see as much as you can while you're there. Why not take the opportunity to visit Vancouver which is the city you'll be flying to and which can be added to the start or end of your holiday for as many nights as you wish.
