The alpine resort village of Whistler is nestled amid the spectacular coastal mountains of British Columbia. It features Whistler and Blackcomb mountains and is North America's number one ski resort in terms of terrain (6,900 acres), serviced vertical rise of 5,280 feet, snow, high-speed lifts, and length of season. Summers provide endless alpine hiking, mountain biking, five lakes, and three golf courses. When not hiking or skiing, dine in one of Whistler Village's many restaurants and cafes or browse through numerous boutiques and shops. Severe winter conditions, may require chains.
