About Whistler

Nestled in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Whistler is a world-renowned resort town that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and outdoor adventure. Originally inhabited by the Squamish and Lil'wat First Nations, Whistler's history is rich with indigenous culture. The area began to gain popularity in the early 20th century as a fishing lodge destination, but it was the development of the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort in the 1960s that truly put it on the map. Today, Whistler is celebrated for its stunning alpine scenery, vibrant village atmosphere, and a plethora of activities that cater to both winter and summer enthusiasts. The town gained international fame as one of the host sites for the 2010 Winter Olympics, further cementing its status as a premier destination for skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. Beyond its outdoor allure, Whistler Village offers a lively mix of shops, restaurants, and cultural experiences, making it a year-round haven for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
