The best family memories are made together. 🏔️✨ At Cypress Sky Retreat, families can come together to reconnect, share unforgettable moments, and enjoy the best of Whistler—with space to relax, play, and make memories that last long after the trip ends. Your mountain getaway starts here. A Whistler ski trip with family or friends should be about time together on the mountain, long conversations around the dinner table and relaxing evenings after a full day in the snow. But w

Whistler is famous for its mountains, world-class skiing and extraordinary outdoor experiences. But ask anyone who has spent time here what makes the destination special, and the conversation will often turn to something else: the evenings. The restaurants. The atmosphere of the Village. The anticipation of a memorable dinner after a day in the mountains. Few restaurants are as closely connected to that part of Whistler's identity as Araxi Restaurant + Oyster Bar.

At Bar Oso, Whistler’s Spanish-inspired tapas bar, the atmosphere is as inviting as the menu — from house-made charcuterie and shareable plates to creative cocktails served in a warm, lively setting. 🇪🇸✨ Whistler has no shortage of memorable restaurants, but not every great evening needs to revolve around a formal dinner. Sometimes, the best plan is to find a comfortable seat at the bar, order a few plates to share, discover an interesting cocktail and let the evening unfol

Vallea Lumina is one of Whistler's most unusual experiences — an immersive multimedia night walk through the forest of Cougar Mountain that combines lights, sound, storytelling and technology with the natural landscape. It doesn't feel like a traditional attraction. It doesn't feel like a hike. And it certainly doesn't feel like another item to check off a Whistler itinerary. Instead, you follow a trail through the forest as the landscape becomes part of an unfolding stor

There is always something happening in Whistler, but every so often a new event arrives that feels particularly well suited to the character of the mountains. This fall, that event is the inaugural Whistler Outdoor Festival, taking place October 9–11, 2026, over Thanksgiving weekend. The three-day celebration brings together adventure films, outdoor experiences, inspiring speakers, workshops, athletes and mountain culture in the heart of Whistler Village.

Since opening in Whistler Village in 2022, Wild Blue has rapidly established itself as one of the resort's most talked-about restaurants.

November is one of the most interesting times of year in Whistler. The golden colours of autumn are fading, the mountains are beginning to collect their first serious snow, mornings feel distinctly alpine, and the village starts preparing for another legendary winter season. But November isn't simply a waiting room for ski season. It is a month of its own — filled with food and culture, quiet forest walks, wellness experiences, cozy restaurants and seasonal events.

Choosing where to stay in Whistler can shape the entire experience of your trip. A hotel puts you in a room. A private vacation home gives your group somewhere to actually settle in — a place to cook breakfast, relax after a day on the mountain, gather for dinner and unwind together without having to leave your own space. Whistler Chalet, Northern Lights 42 was designed around exactly that kind of vacation experience.

Located in Whistler Village, Bearfoot Bistro combines refined Pacific Northwest cuisine with an impressive wine program and a collection of experiences that are difficult to replicate anywhere else.

Whistler is famous for skiing and snowboarding, but some of the most memorable winter experiences happen far beyond the ski slopes. Snowmobiling in Whistler offers a completely different way to experience the Coast Mountains. Instead of riding a chairlift toward the alpine, you'll travel through snow-covered forests, mountain trails and spectacular winter landscapes, guided into terrain that most visitors never see from the road or ski hill.

Dog Sledding in Whistler: Everything You Need to Know Before Your Adventure There are plenty of ways to experience winter in Whistler.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family vacation, an active weekend or simply a few peaceful days in the mountains, here are 10 of the best things to do in Whistler in fall.

There is something wonderfully different about Whistler in autumn. The pace begins to slow. The mornings become crisp and quiet, the forests turn golden, and the Coast Mountains take on a deeper, more dramatic character. The days are still filled with outdoor possibilities, but the cooler evenings invite a slower rhythm—long dinners, private hot tubs, fireplaces and time spent together.

A luxury Whistler getaway should feel effortless from the moment you arrive. The right accommodation can make all the difference. Instead of simply providing somewhere to sleep between adventures, a private luxury chalet can become the centre of the entire experience — a place to gather with family and friends, relax after a day in the mountains, enjoy a private meal, soak in a hot tub beneath the peaks and create memories together.

A curated three-day itinerary for experiencing Whistler’s mountains, lakes, autumn colours, wellness, exceptional dining and private mountain living in style.

Whistler is famous for world-class skiing and snowboarding, but some of the most memorable winter moments happen far beyond the ski runs. Imagine soaring above snow-covered peaks by helicopter, travelling through an old-growth forest behind a team of sled dogs, relaxing in a Nordic spa surrounded by evergreens, or arriving at a candlelit mountain dinner by snowcat. These are the experiences that transform a Whistler vacation from a great ski trip into an unforgettable luxury
