BC Day Long Weekend in Whistler

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!

The Farm to Fork Movement

The Whistler Farmers' Market closes the distance between farm and fork with fresh, flavourful and local produce. The open-air market also has food and drink vendors and artisan goods, so bring the family to the Upper Village and make a day of it. Ride your bike and use the free bike valet available on weekends throughout the summer.
