Year-Round Mountain Paradise in Whistler, British Columbia

There has never been a better time to look into Whistler cabin rentals for your vacation. In the run-up to the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Whistler, British Columbia, this resort town saw incredible development of new infrastructure, including Whistler Olympic Park in the lovely Callaghan Valley, home to a gorgeous cross-country and back-country ski area.

Whistler Cabin Rentals with Small Town Charm

The world came to Whistler to play and compete in a stunning mountain wonderland. As Whistler co-hosted one of the best Winter Olympics in memory, we not only saw heart-pounding ski races, exhilarating snowboarding and the speedy bobsleigh; we also got to know a charming and welcoming alpine village ready to welcome people from every corner of the planet.

Get Peak-to-Peak Views in Whistler Lodging

Booking Whistler lodging for your vacation is a great excuse to ride the record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola at the world-famous Whistler-Blackcomb resort. Also built for the Winter Olympics, it involves the longest unsupported span and highest lift in the world, as well as the longest continuous lift system. The Peak 2 Peak Gondola stretches more than four kilometers between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, giving you a breathtaking view of Fitzsimmons Creek more than 430 meters below your feet.

The journey from peak to peak also gives you access to nearly 20 hiking trails on Blackcomb Mountain, so the gondola isn’t just an exhilarating ride. It is also the means to an incredible day in the mountains.

Experience Skiing at Its Best at Whistler Blackcomb

Of course, the main reason to consider Whistler cabin rentals is to be here in the winter, so you can go skiing or snowboarding. Whistler Blackcomb has two mountains, more than 200 trails, 16 bowls for snowboarding, three glaciers for heli-skiing and nearly 40 ski lifts. It is the largest ski resort in North America. Towering high in the Coastal Mountains, it receives more than 400 centimeters of snow every winter.

More than two million people come to Whistler Blackcomb every year, most of them to ski or snowboard. However, visitors can also cross-country ski, toboggan, go snowmobiling, snow-shoe, zip-line, go tubing, heli-ski, go to the spa or just shop, dine and party in the beautiful mountainside village that charmed the world during the Olympics.

Whistler Bike Park - Ride the Mountain!

When the snow melts, Whistler lodging is popular with a whole other crowd of mountain enthusiasts. About 100,000 bikers come to the Whistler Bike Park every summer to ride down nearly 50 mountain-bike trails through the forests and over the rocks. Several chairlifts and gondolas at the Whistler Bike Park carry riders and their bikes to the top of the mountain. From there, beginners can take gentle sloping trails to the bottom, while mountain warriors can find the steep drops, big jumps and tight twists they crave.

Whether you are coming to ski, bike or just relax in a fun mountain setting, a visit to Whistler is memorable all year round. Now that the Olympic crowds have cleared, come see for yourself why the world fell in love with Whistler!
