TRAVEL GUIDE | WHISTLER, CANADA

We just got back from a week in Whistler, Canada and it was the BEST time. Talk about a winter wonderland, Whistler is truly magical this time of year. It basically snowed the entire time we were there and I loved every second of it. We skied, ate and drank our little hearts out, PLUS I got to shoot so many cute winter looks for you guys! A few other fun excursions we did while there were night time snow mobiling to the cutest fondue dinner and snow tubing. Visiting Whistler during the winter has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember and I highly recommend making the trip yourself if at all possible.

Here are a few of the best places to eat/drink, what to do and where to stay in Whistler, Canada:

WHERE TO STAY:

  • The Fairmont

  • The Four Seasons

  • Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa

  • The Westin Resort & Spa

  • Crystal Lodge & Suites

  • Delta Hotels by Marriott

  • Rent a condo

    • We stayed at “The Woodrun Lodge”

    • Highly suggest a ski-in / ski-out property

WHERE TO EAT/DRINK:

  • Christine’s - Located at the top peak of Blackcomb Mountain (you have to take the gondola to get there). It’s a little fancier food as far as restaurants go but it has 180° views of the mountain and ski resort, so it was such a cool view to go with your meal.

  • Cows Icecream - The best place to grab ice cream in Whistler!

  • The Mexican Corner - The food was fabulous and so were the margaritas! They are only opened for dinner and there is usually a short wait, but it’s so worth it.

  • Pure Bread - Pastry heaven!! I went here for coffee and pastries one morning. I brought back a whole bag of goodies for my family, they were all seriously delicious.

  • Sidecut - Restaurant located in The Four Seasons hotel. We loved our meal here, everything was great and it also gave us an excuse to check out the beautiful resort.

  • Quattro Restaurant

  • Bearfoot Bistro

WHAT TO DO:

  • Ski or snowboard on Blackcomb or Whistler mountains

  • Snow Tubing

  • Helicopter Ice Glacier Tour

  • Shopping and dining in Center Village

  • Night time snow mobiling to fondue dinner

  • Snow Shoeing

  • Whistler Sliding Center
