Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Whistler

"Located in the Upper Village area, despite the name, Lost Lake is actually one of Whistler’s most accessible lakes. Surrounded by easy hiking and biking trails it is the perfect place to relax and cool down after a long day. It’s a friendly, relaxed environment and even has a dog beach, along with a nude dock if you’re feeling adventurous!"

"The best thing about Lost Lake is that, despite its name, it is located right in Whistler. You can walk to Lost Lake from Whistler Village in just 15 minutes. There’s also a free shuttle all summer long."

"Along the Sea to Sky just outside of Whistler (about 15 minutes by car) you will find Brandywine falls. It is just 5 minutes to get to the falls viewpoint. It is less than one-kilometer walk and is mostly flat!"

"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."

"James Stewart Sculpture Gallery is a small gallery with a big impact. Its current exhibition of large, life-like, and finely detailed sculptures of individuals the artist and gallery owner James Stewart met during his travels around the world is creating quite a stir in a town more accustomed to paintings of wild animals and spectacular landscapes. After building a career in Hollywood by creating visual effects for movies such as The Chronicles of Narnia and Shrek 2, James decided to give it all up and devote his time to his art and to enjoying the wild adventures of Whistler."

"Close by to Green Lake in the area of Alpine Meadows is Meadow Park. This is a picture perfect location to come and have a picnic, take in the stunning mountain views and relax. It is on the Valley Trail route and sits alongside Alta Creek, synonymous with the River of Golden Dreams."

"Whether you’re in hiking boots or snowshoes take a trip out to Alexander Falls in the Callaghan Valley. If you’re looking for a longer stay in the wilderness check out the Journeyman Lodge, a full service backcountry lodge, which we listed as one of the most romantic Whistler hotels."

"So if you choose to view it, you're basically seeing three waterfalls in one. This falls sits in Callaghan Provincial Park just south of Whistler. If you choose to see the falls, leave time to explore the park."

"The venue for the historic 2010 Winter Olympics, the Whistler Olympic Park is a grand venue that promises lots of fun and activities for the whole family. From ice skating to snow shoeing, the park is equipped with world class facilities for a number of Nordic games. Whistler Olympic Park is open for visitor over winter for Nordic skiing, tobogganing, snowshoeing, biathlon, base boarding, fat t...Read more"

"This recreational paradise invites visitors of all ages to hit the slopes for an endless selection of snowy activities. Slow down the pace with some serene snow-shoeing, or pick it up in a classically Canadian toboggan sled!. The terrain boasts miles of cross-country skiing trails, baseboarding hills, and perfectly curated adrenaline-filled ski-jumping zones."

"Since April 2020, there’s not been a single week where we haven’t lusted for Functional Pie. This pizza place has quickly become a locals’ favorite and was even voted Best Pizza In Whistler in the 2020 Best Of Whistler Awards. You can order by the slice or choose the whole pie."

"Functional Pie Pizzeria's small selection of pizzas includes one vegan option called Mos Def, which comes with onions, mushroom, sausage and vegan cheese. You can enjoy it outside on their small patio or at one of the small tables inside. It's in Function Junction."

"Tucked away in Function Junction is arguably Whistler's best takeout pizzeria. The golden nugget on their menu is the spectacular Vegan Mos Dof. We could talk about it all day: crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside, with a melt in your mouth, amazing crust."

"You’ll find rice dishes, noodle bowls and curries inspired by China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. They make their food fresh to order and offer several levels of spiciness so you can level up the intensity. Main Street Noodles has daily specials for added value and their large portions can be shared between two people."

"Casual noodle bar with all the favourite flavours from China, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Pop in for a cheap bowl of Pad Thai or steaming hot Beef Pho."

"It is fancy enough to feel a bit special, has a broad crowd-pleasing menu, offers happy hour drinks and food from 3 – 5 PM, and somehow always manages to have a bustling weekend-y vibe. Their veggie selection has expanded recently and includes a vegan quinoa and avocado power bowl, sushi such as a green dragon roll, as well as spicy tofu tacos or a crispy tofu Zen bowl. Insider Tip: Many of the Earls non-veggie meals can be modified – such as my favourite black-bean-and-date-filled Santa Fe chicken salad that I order without chicken."

"Delicious food, delivered right to your room when the moment strikes. Tempt yourself with Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s culinary In-Room Dining offerings, available throughout the day and evening."

"At the back of Ecologyst, a concept store selling eco-friendly goods, you’ll find a particularly trendy café specializing in locally brewed coffees (we suggest the Bows and Arrows lattes) and suitably modern breakfast treats. Opt for the loaded toasts, which are all made from locally sourced ingredients where possible, or try the fluffy sourdough bread from Whistler’s 200 Degrees Bakery."

"One of the newest additions to the Village Stroll (and one of our favourite stores in Whistler right now!) is Ecologyst. The website explains: ‘The brand known and loved as Sitka is now ecologyst – Canada’s west coast outdoor clothing and gear company, balancing conservation and consumerism.’. Ecologyst features on menswear, womenswear, and quintessential Canadian camp & cabin goods."

"Come for the only Neapolitan pizza in Whistler, then linger for the hip, rustic atmosphere of Pizzeria Antico, complete with craft beer on tap plus local cider and wine from British Columbia. They offer pretty much every pizza combination you can think of here, ranging from a veggie-friendly traditional Margherita to a triple-meat option. They also have a list with salad and starters if you’re after something lighter, as well as four pasta dishes for good measure."

"It has the perfect balance of good quality food, moderate pricing and casual but lovely atmosphere. We also love that it is kid friendly. Thanks for another wonderful meal…"

"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."

"You know the name and the menu, so if you’re in the mood for comfort food you’ll find it here."

"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."
