Whistler Village

Whistler Village

There are many things to do in the Village, the heart of Whistler. Stay in a centrally located hotel, walk the Village Stroll, indulge yourself at one of many places to eat and browse the unique shops. The Village is located at the base of the lifts, making access to Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains convenient for skiing, snowboarding and sightseeing. Whistler Village is big enough to have all the amenities expected of a world-class resort, yet small enough for you to feel its unique mountain culture and distinctive hospitality.

Whistler Village Stroll

The Village offers all the amenities of most large cities, such as fire and police stations, medical clinics, grocery stores, specialty shops and more. It is linked by the Village Stroll, a stone, pedestrian-only causeway that flows from Lorimer Road in the north to Skiers Plaza at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
