Whistler, British Columbia

You’ll find Whistler in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver. This legendary resort is an international mountain sports mecca and a down-to-earth mountain town.

Two side-by-side mountains spanned by the world-record-breaking PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola give access to Whistler Blackcomb’s renowned alpine terrain, drawing hikers, skiers and mountain bikers in search of mind-blowing landscapes.

At lower elevations, a coastal climate delivers a lush contrast to the volcanic alpine environment. Sparkling glacier-fed lakes, towering old-growth forests, waterfalls, beaches, parks and golf courses are linked by a network of paved valley trails.

Travel Documents

As we are travelling within Canada, one valid identification document issued by a Canadian federal, provincial, or territorial government that includes your photo, full name and date of birth is required.

Climate

Temperatures are approximately 7 to 10°C cooler on top of the mountain than in the Valley. Due to Whistler’s coastal proximity, temperatures are moderate through the winter season, rarely dipping below -15°C (5°F) in the alpine during the coldest part of the year. Expect -5°C (22°F) average daily alpine temperatures during most of the winter months.

Attire

For the business sessions, and evening event, smart casual is recommended.

Location

Offering stunning views of Whistler’s valley and surrounding mountains, these comfortable and spacious guest rooms showcase Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s classic alpine style. Relax and unwind with breathtaking views, comfortable lounge areas, and Fairmont’s resort amenities.
