Where to eat, drink and party in Whistler
"If you want filling comfort food, look no further than Il Caminetto. This Italian eatery serves up very generous servings of pasta, risotto, and other Italian classics like meatballs to name a few along with a great wine list. You can get every pasta split in half here too, so it’s great for sharing."
"Il Caminetto is a contemporary Italian eatery located at 4242 Village Stroll in the heart of Whistler mountain. The restaurant is a subsidiary division of Toptable Group which also manages other BC Canadian favourites such as Blue Water Cafe, Bar Oso and Thierry."
"A post shared by Pizzeria Antico (@pizzeriaantico) on Jan 7, 2018 at 12:13pm PST. Enjoy wood-fired pizza and a large craft beer selection at this spot located in the north part of Whistler Village adjacent to the Alpenglow Hotel. Address: 101-4369 Main Street, WhistlerPhone: 604-962-9226"
"Taking pizza back to old school Italian roots, Pizzeria Antico offer a rustic casual setting and offers delicious Neapolitan style pizza, fresh pastas, crisp salads."
"Pizzeria Antico serves traditional Neapolitan style pizza fresh out of the wood-fired forno, as well as pasta, antipasti and salads in a bright and rustic setting."
"We love the Old Spaghetti Factory as you know what to expect at any of the locations, the food is always a hit with families and they offer reasonable prices for a family meal with generous portions. We wanted to try out some new restaurants, so we didn’t check out the Old Spaghetti Factory in Whistler on this trip, but I was thankful to have that option of a tried & true favorite that I knew my kids would love and always has a fun atmosphere where any family would feel right at home."
"Casual pasta restaurant where all entrees come with a green salad, sourdough bread, coffee or tea and spumoni ice cream at no additional charge."
"Quattro offers an invitingly warm atmosphere, contemporary Northern and Central Italian cuisine and an extensive wine list, recognized by Wine Spectator as one of the world’s best. A private room for parties up to 12 people is also available."
"Quattro has a bit of it all, pasta, lamb dishes, risotto and meatballs – a full sample of traditional Italian cuisine."
"Avalanche Pizza is definitely one of the more casual Whistler restaurants that I am recommending. It is centrally located in the middle of the walking zone. Like most pizza restaurants, Avalanche Pizza is self serve."
"Avalanche has been serving pan style pizza since 2000 using house-made, organic dough. Grab a slice as you wander the village, or consider dinner sorted with delivery to your door."
"After having fun at Whistler Olympic Plaza in the playground, icerink or Snow Zone, neighbouring Gnarly Roots is the place to go. There is something for everyone at this quaint cafe which serves up a homemade menu of sandwiches, salads, soups, pizza and more. Whiski Jack Resorts in Whistler is the perfect basecamp for your family’s Whistler getaway."
"Seen from many directions, this black spire of volcanic rock has become a well known sight in Whistler. Its easily recognizable shape has earned it the title of best known mountain in the Garibaldi Range of the Coast Mountains. You can easily photograph its peak from the top of Whistler Mountain but if you dare to get a bit closer, the strenuous Black Tusk hike will take you right into its surrounding lava fields."
"The view of Black Tusk is as quintessential Whistler as it gets. This remnant of a stratovolcano has served as a culturally significant landmark for thousands of years, in the Squamish language it is called t’ak‘t’ak mu’yin tl’a in7in’a’xe7en, “Landing Place of the Thunderbird”. Views from the top of whistler mountain reveal black tusk."
"Look to your left as you drive into Whistler and you will see Black Tusk, the last remaining part of a dormant volcano. Although its black peak can be seen from just about anywhere in Whistler, there are a few spots that provide a better view. The peak of Whistler and the Callaghan Valley are just to name a few."
"Vida in the Fairmont Chateau Whistler has an extravagant list of spa services from hot stone massages to Ayurveda treatments and pedicures. They offer a full-body tune-up with access to the Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s pool, hot tubs, steam room, sauna and of course, the poolside bar. It makes for a wonderful day of pampering and socializing."
"For over 25 years, Blue Highways Massage has been alleviating the sore muscles of people in Whistler. It’s one of Whistler’s longest-running spas and with all that experience comes fantastic service. This intimate spa operates on Main St. in Whistler Village and has 9 relaxing and rejuvenating rooms for its clients."

"As one of the largest skate parks in Canada, the park measures 50,000 square feet full of bowls, ledges and street-style elements. Other features include quarter pipes, a spine, volcano and central pyramid. In addition, BMX riders can test their skills."
"While watching bobsleigh or luge competitions on TV, did you ever wonder how it feels to zip down the narrow ice tube at the speed of a racecar?. Now you can experience it for yourself at the Whistler Sliding Centre, the world’s fastest ice track. When athletes are not using the Centre to prepare for various international competitions, visitors are invited to check out this amazing facility or even experience the high-speed action first-hand."
