Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre, Whistler

Olympic Whistler

Advantages: Spectacular scenery, something to suit everyones tastes
Disadvantages: It is a bit far to go from Shropshire

cartons which had been left there. I was gobsmacked I have not known birds to come that close and get that cheeky before, but the waitress informed me that they do it quite often. Completely rested and refreshed we walked a little further up the hill through the village of the shops centred around the sporting activities that you can do on whistler with the odd tourist gift shop slotted in. At the top of the village we paid to go on a gondola (this is a closed cable car) which would take us to the peak of Whistler; as they were doing repair work on the neighbouring mountain we could not take the peak to peak (I do hope to visit again one day and do this trip). We paid I think around 50 Canadian dollars for our tickets, but to be honest neither of us could remember exactly what we paid, I just remember thinking that it was a bit ...

Review of Whistler (Canada)

Don't forget Whistler in the summertime.

Advantages: Excellent resturants, outdoor activities
Disadvantages: A bit busy in the village

and dudette's of Canada have seen to it that Whistler is also a great place to be in the summer as well as the winter. The arrival We arrived in the afternoon, hot and bothered after travelling over six hours from Clearwater. The travel agent was right, the twisting roads south through the mountains to Whistler were a real struggle, it was the only journey in Canada that caused me stress. Getting into the town was a little difficult as there are few roads, but this makes walking around the centre much more enjoyable. I disposed of the car in the hotels multi-storey and we crashed out in the hotel room. The hotel We stayed at the Holiday Inn in the middle of Whistler, the rooms were a little on the small side for Canada, but standard for us Europeans. Also there were some building works going on next door for the 2006 Winter Olympic ...

Review of Whistler (Canada)

The rider's guide to Whistler

Advantages: Fantastic terrain, beautiful scenery.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive and is a longway from the UK

mountains costs about £30 but it obviously works out cheaper if you buy one covering several days. Check out their website for a full list. The lift queues tend not to be too bad (apart from the busy school holidays) and they employ singers to entertain you while you wait! OFF THE SLOPES If you fancy a day off your plank(s), then there are some other great things to do. Snowmobiling tours are really exciting and fun (but expensive). There are also a wide range of companies offering snowshoeing tours and sled-rides. I can also recommend trying out cross country skiing at the nordic skiing centre - keeps you very fit! ACCOMMODATION Whistler has everything from five star hotels such as the luxury Chateau Whistler down to hostels like the Shoestring Lodge where you can get a bed for about $30 a night. Chalet deals are only just starting ...
