Epic outdoor beauty in Canada's dream destination
One of the most epic resort destinations in Canada, Whistler lives up to its jubilant name in more ways than one! Surrounded by mountains, it buzzes with activity and could well be the country’s best spot to appreciate the outdoors, play a little golf, do a bit of shopping, indulge your inner foodie, or hike some of the trickiest trails in the north. No matter the season, Whistler has a nifty knack for never quite slowing down. Booking a Whistler vacation rental puts you in the heart of all this incredible action.
Gold medal-worthy attractions in Whistler
From national parks to botanical gardens, there are endless opportunities for activity in Whistler. The Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre delves into the area’s fascinating history, while the Whistler Museum captures a bit of the region’s past, including a sporting visit back in time to the 2010 Winter Olympics. The Britannia Mine Museum even features an underground train! If you’re especially fond of the outdoors (makes sense), Sea to Sky Gondola is a fun way to experience the beauty of the oceans and mountains in a safe group setting.
Whistler: nature-made for outdoor junkies
It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that Whistler was nature-made for the outdoor enthusiast. Strolling by rushing waterfalls, hiking craggy peaks, gazing at crystalline lakes, and exploring the backcountry are all standard activities here. Why not take advantage of those rivers and lakes? Take a dip or grab a kayak and do your thing. Or let the whales do their thing as you watch eagerly for a glimpse. If you’re feeling brave, head from your Whistler vacation rental straight for a wildlife tour and stay within safe distance of those big ol’ bears.
Local weather for your stay in Whistler vacation homes
If you're the type who craves heading out in all 4 seasons, you won't be disappointed—in fact, it’s what this top-tier destination is really known for in Canada and beyond. Book a Whistler vacation rental in the winter if you're all about snow. The white stuff melts fairly quickly come spring, but don't be fooled—this area is still primarily cooler than not. There are just about 11 days when temperatures rise above 86 degrees. Winter is wet and brisk, while summer offers a respite with its dry and warm air. Can you handle it?
