Whistler Resort: Vacation Paradise
You may have read the articles in the magazines, or heard all about it from your friends. Maybe you know about it because of the 2010 Olympics. Well, now it's your turn to experience the magic of Whistler. Get ready for an incredible treat!
Welcome
to the world's greatest tourist destination. Whistler BC Canada
is world-renowned for its skiiing, its superb golf courses, its proximity
to top-notch fly-fishing and its five-star hospitality.
Located in the Coastal Mountains of BC, Whistler is approximately 115 kilometres (72 miles) from Vancouver. It's a natural year-round playground with its crisp mountain air, crystal clear lakes and lush emerald forests.
Whistler
is a year-round destination resort with enough outdoor and indoor activities
to keep you busy from morning until night. There are also endless options
for shopping, dining and nightlife. There's something to do here every
day whether it's a thrilling adventure or just some quiet time listening
to nature and absorbing the magnificent scenery.
In
the winter, Whistler is probably the world's most desirable ski resort.
During the summer, the mountains and trails open up to hikers, walkers,
mountain bikers and climbers. There is such a vast amount to do, even
folks who live in Whistler year round sometimes don't get the opportunity
to explore it all!
Golfing
In
1983, Arnold Palmer designed Whistler's first golf course, the Whistler
Golf Club.
A few years later, Whistler received three more golf courses — all championship designed and award-winning. Whistler’s golf courses built around mountain peaks, fresh air and spectacular scenery are now considered some of the best courses in the game of golf.
