Located in the spectacular Coast Mountains of British Columbia, and just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is Canada’s premier, year-round destination. Consistently ranked the number one mountain resort in North America, Whistler features two majestic mountains, epic skiing and snowboarding, four championship golf courses, more than 200 shops, 90 restaurants and bars, accommodation galore, hiking trails, spas and arguably the best mountain bike park in the world.
Activities:Lots of outdoor activities to do here, from biking, hiking, golf, and fishing in the summer, to skiing, sledding, climbing and snow-shoeing in the winter.
5/5
Events:
Famous for big events such as Crankworks, Tough Mudder, and many more this place always has something going on. Although most events are family friendly they tend to attract a rowdier crowd most of the time especially during the evenings but there is always something to do with the family at all times during the year.
4.5/5
View:
Plenty of hiking and great views. Even if you manage to hike everywhere in Whistler there is always something new within a 30 minute drive. Plenty of wildlife and scenery.
5/5
Accommodations:
Plenty of accommodations in and around the village where everything is centrally located and within walking distance. Unless you find a deal though you will be paying a premium price on all lodging here.
3.5/5
Food & Shopping:
Again a great selection of dining and small local shops but you will have to pay a little bit more. Also during an event with a lot of people in town you must be prepared to wait a little bit for you seat and service.
3/5
Visit-ability:
A must see place that has a lot to offer. Even if it is just a day trip to see some of the views and take a quick walk around the village, but would be better experienced over a few days. One could easily spend a week here.
5/5
Total Rating: 26/30
Thoughts: This is a great place to visit. One of my personal favourites except for the cost.
