Home About Whistler Whistler Village

Whistler Village

The Village is the heart of Whistler. Walk the Village Stroll, people watch, grab a bite, do some shopping, access the mountains, and be immersed in the culture that makes Whistler so unique. Whistler Village is big enough to have all the amenities of a world-class resort, yet small enough for you to feel its warmth and distinctive hospitality.

The Village

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 defined by the Village Stroll, a stone, pedestrian-only causeway that flows through Whistler Village from Lorimer Road in the north part of the Village to Skiers Plaza in the main Village at the base of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. The Stroll allows you to wander freely while exploring local shops, restaurants, cafés and art galleries. The Stroll also provides direct access to the gondolas for Whistler Blackcomb. Whistler Village is pet-friendly, too, so bring your best friend along.

Entertainment

You may come to Whistler for world-renowned skiing, snowboarding or golfing, but don't miss out on the many other things to do around town. Be a part of Whistler's famous après scene, soak up some culture, and attend an event. It's all here.
