For the finest four-season vacation experience in North America, make Whistler your family travel destination. Located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia just two hours north of Vancouver, encompassing two mountains and over 6,100 acres of ski trails, a Whistler family vacation is the experience of a lifetime.
For a unique summer adventure, try sliding down Whistler Mountain in an inner tube on a bed of snow. Or take advantage of the Whistler Mountain bike park with nearly five thousand feet of descending trails to challenge your skills. If golf is your game, choose from four championship courses in the area. If you'd prefer something less strenuous and just as exciting, take in the bear viewing and ecology tour with opportunities to observe the seventeen black bear mothers and their cubs in the area.
For an outing the whole family can enjoy, try white water rafting on the mild Cheakamus river.
Winter sports enthusiasts in search of the ultimate back country skiing or snowboarding thrill can take a heli-skiing or boarding expedition into the 400,000 plus acres surrounding the resort, with access to 173 glaciers and 475 runs. For a more laid-back, family friendly expedition, try a horse-drawn sleigh ride on Blackcomb Mountain. And for those who have come wanting to ski but don't quite have all the
moves down just yet, lessons are available for children aged 3 -12 , teens and adults.
Although the resort boasts world-class hotel accommodations,Whistler condos allow family to bring their home atmosphere on vacation with them. With your own kitchen at hand, choose your own menu and enjoy your meals with your own private vistas at your feet. A 2 bedroom condo in Whistler ranges from $155 USD in Valhalla in Whistler Village North to $280 USD for an open floor plan mountain lodge in Creekside with easy access to the express Gondola to the slopes, to $339 USD for a luxury townhome at Mountain Star.
Whatever lodging option you choose,Whistler condos will provide you with a level of accommodation that will make your Whistler family vacation one you'll want to remember and repeat for the rest of your life.
