Nestled in the spectacular Coast Mountains, a short 90-minute drive from Vancouver along the scenic Sea-to-Sky highway, Whistler is easily accessible by car, coach, train, floatplane or helicopter. With North America's greatest vertical rise, two world-class mountains, first-class accommodation and a lively Village that features gourmet restaurants, international boutiques and bistros, it's easy to understand why Whistler is consistently ranked in the top five North American resorts, as selected by industry magazines such as SKI, SKIING, Powder, TransWorld Snowboarding and more.
