Escape to the snow-blanketed charm of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains with Whistler Village, the launchpad of your winter adventures. The alpine village bursts with celebratory cheer during the winter season with pedestrian-friendly streets lined with shops, restaurants, and festive lights.

With breathtaking surroundings—snow-capped peaks, lush forests, and pristine lakes just a short distance away—Whistler Village embodies a sense of adventure, relaxation, and community. 

As the day turns to dusk, turn your visit into an unforgettable dining adventure at the Bearfoot Bistro. Step into their famed "Vodka Ice Room" to taste a variety of vodkas in a chilled setting. Alongside this unique experience, the restaurant serves exquisite gourmet dishes, including Wagyu beef and Perigord truffles, and boasts Western Canada's largest wine cellar with over 15,000 bottles.

Start your second day at Whistler with one of its most popular activities—skiing. Whistler Blackcomb Ski School is regarded as one of the best ski schools in North America. Those new to the sport can pick up some basic skills after just one lesson, with classes catered for beginners to advanced skiers. Even as a beginner, you will be able to ski down the powdery slope, led by an experienced instructor. 

Adult Group lessons here are limited to four in a group—this ensures that you receive dedicated attention from your ski instructor. A full day lesson starts at 9:45am, and ends at around 3pm. This leaves you with time in the afternoon to further explore the sights, sounds and sensations of Whistler. 

Wind down after a busy morning of skiing with a trip to the Whistler Museum. Learn about Whistler’s history, the creation of Whistler Blackcomb and the hosting of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. 

Apart from that, this indoor museum features plenty of interactive exhibits. You can even take your photograph with a real Olympic torch.

End your day with a nice dinner at the Rimrock Café, which serves local Canadian cuisine and delectable seafood. It features an extensive wine list, including vintage wines from around the world. The restaurant offers wine-pairing options, with recommendations of the perfect bottle to complement your meal. 

(For your convenience, a complimentary shuttle is also provided from Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside to Rimrock—check with Guest Services for availability.)

Cannot get enough of the snow? Try something new, like snowshoeing. This activity is a great way to immerse yourself leisurely in Whistler’s wintry snowscape. 

Trek over 40km of marked trails in the morning sun, treading upon the winter snowpack at the Whistler Olympic Park. Feel the crunch of snow beneath your feet as you soak in the frost-dusted whitescape interspersed with white-capped peaks and glistening icicles. Guided by an experienced adventurer, you will uncover interesting nuggets of information while discovering various Olympic monuments along your journey.

Get your adrenaline pumping as you cruise down a tubing hill at Bubly Tube Park. This is a place for the young and young at heart; skiing skills are not required. Bring only your sense of adventure and your lust for fun. 

The Tube Park features seven lanes with varying difficulty. All you need to do is sit on giant rubber tubes and let gravity do its work. Don't worry about having to climb to the top for your next slide—the state-of-the-art conveyor lift makes travelling to the top a cinch, plus you get rewarded with more magnificent views. 

Warm up after your snowy trip with a dip in the hot tubs back at Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside, located on Skiers Plaza in Whistler Village, at the gondolas to both mountains. Our all-season heated outdoor saltwater pool with dual hot tubs offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountainscape, hence the name ‘Whistler’s Best Address.’ It is the perfect way to relax your weary arms and legs from the skiing, snowshoeing and sledding activities during your stay at Whistler.
