BC Day Long Weekend in Whistler

August 3 – 5, 2023

Celebrate the natural beauty of this province in the Coast Mountains, one of the most stunning places in British Columbia. Visit Whistler over the long weekend and enjoy entertainment in the Village, plus a huge range of summer activities so you can experience the incredible landscape for yourself.

Canadian Summer Hiking

Access the Alpine

Wildflowers, wildlife, glaciers and lakes hidden high above the treeline - you can find all these and more when you go hiking in the alpine (you can even catch a gondola up to the trails). And there’s more to explore in the valley from lakes to the Valley Trail to golf courses – be sure you plan enough time here to do it all!
