The Itinerary
1 | VANCOUVER TO WHISTLER
Collect your rental vehicle in Vancouver and enjoy a scenic drive along the Sea-to-Sky Highway, one of Canada’s most breathtaking routes. Towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, and ocean vistas accompany you en route to Whistler. Upon arrival, check in at the Fairmont Château Whistler, nestled at the base of Blackcomb Mountain. Spend your first evening exploring the charming pedestrian village or relaxing by the hotel’s pool before dinner at one of Whistler’s acclaimed restaurants. Accommodations are at Fairmont Chateau Whistler.
2 | VALLEY BIKING & BEAR VIEWING
This morning, enjoy a privately guided valley bike ride, leisurely tracing scenic paths along rivers and forest trails. In the afternoon, set out on a shared tour with a wildlife expert in search of Whistler’s black bears, often spotted foraging in meadows or climbing through old-growth forests. Return to the resort with time to unwind before dinner, perhaps with a nightcap by the outdoor fire pits.
3 | PEAK TO PEAK & VALLEA LUMINA
After breakfast, ascend the mountains aboard the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, soaring above alpine valleys and glaciers for a bird’s-eye view of Whistler’s dramatic terrain. Spend time exploring the trails at the summit before descending to the village. This evening, step into the magical world of Vallea Lumina, an illuminated forest experience where light, sound, and storytelling transform the night into a living fairytale.
4 | CANOEING THE RIVER OF GOLDEN DREAMS
Begin your day on the River of Golden Dreams, paddling through serene waters framed by snow-capped peaks and cedar forests. Glide at a peaceful pace as you take in Whistler’s wilder side from a new perspective. The afternoon is yours to enjoy—perhaps strolling through the boutiques and cafés of Whistler Village, or indulging in a treatment at the Fairmont’s spa.
5 | RETURN TO VANCOUVER
After breakfast, take one last walk through the alpine village before beginning your drive back to Vancouver. As you wind along the Sea-to-Sky Highway once more, the scenery serves as a fitting finale—a reminder of the grandeur, serenity, and gentle thrill that define Whistler’s alpine allure.
