Things To Do
Lost Lake
Wonderful little lake for swimming! It's cold, but refreshing! There is a great trail to do a short loop walk around the lake or if you're feeling adventurous some awesome Blue & Green mountain bike trails to explore! Bike rentals can be arranged at The Lost Lake Passive Haus, Arbutus Routes (Upper Village), or many stores in the Village.
Whistler Disc Golf Course
A mainstay of the our Whistler weekends, this course is a truly epic one that climbs to a showstopper 18th hole. We've played many a game here with friends- a great free activity to be outside and social with a large group. Discs can be purchased in the Village at Evolution.
Whistler Farmers' Market
Open 11am -4pm on Sunday Walk around and see what local craft and food vendors have on display! Some food faves are baked samosas w/ homemade chutney from Nhidi's cuisine, Jeggs (Japanese Egg Okonomiyaki), Fort Berens wine and Jacklot prints/art.
Whistler Blackcomb Resort
Take the gondola up either mountain for amazing views of the Whistler area and hiking trials in the alpine. The Peak 2 Peak connects both mountains as a record breaking engineering marvel.

Grace's Route Recos: If Peak Chair is open - Take Whistler Gondola > Peak Chair > Hike Half Note trail > Drink a beer at the Umbrella bar > Peak to Peak Gondola > Blackcomb Gondola If Peak is not open - Take Blackcomb Gondola > Hike Overlord trail to Lakeside loop > Peak to Peak Gondola > Drink a beer at the Umbrella bar > Whistler Gondola If you don't want to buy a ticket and are ready to sweat See Blackcomb Ascent Trail.
Whistler Mountain Bike Park
Sam's Fave! For those wanting some adrenaline, spend a day in the Bike Park. Rent an enduro bike in the Village > upload Fitsimmons and ride some Blues: B-line, Ninja Cougar, Karate Monkey, Una Moss, Blueberry Bathtubs If this is not extreme enough call Sam, he can recommend more excitement.
Blackcomb Ascent Trail Hike
They don't call it the big burn for nothing. Hike to the top of Blackcomb Mountain... truly an achievement of 1200m. This activity is best followed by a beer and views at the mountain top Rondezvous lodge before hopping on the gondola down! (Also a great way to see the top and the Peak 2 Peak gondola without paying for a ticket. ;)
Purebread Bakery + Coffee
A Whistler mainstay for amazing baked goods - sweet & savoury! Grace recommends the Buckwheat Sour Cherry Scone, Morning Bun, or the Raspberry Cheesecake brownie.
Nagomi Sushi
Our favorite sushi restaurant in Whistler's upper village- unassuming, peaceful and delicious sushi and sake offerings. Menu fave is the Box Sushi.
Il Caminetto
A piece of the Nychka history. This is the upscale Italian restaurant Allie worked during her time living in Whistler. It has changed ownership since her tenure, but is still a lovely place for dinner.
The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Whistler
A Mike Reid Classic. The Keg (Canadian Steakhouse chain)'s Whistler location. For the full MR experience order the Prime Rib keg Classic dinner with a wedge salad, and baked potato. Start with the Garlic Cheese toast and if you're feeling extra bold try a keg size ceasar.
Cheakamus Lake Hike
A beautiful hike for the less vertically inclined- a flatter option out-and-back along a beautiful turquoise glacier fed lake. You will need a car to drive to the trailhead.
Red Door Bistro
Located steps from Nita lake Lodge in Creekside. A Whistler establishment- cozy small dining room serving upscale French & fusion fare. You will need a reservation and to book far ahead to snag a table.
Creekbread
Steps from Nita Lake Lodge in Creekside. Casual pizza restaurant that is a Whistler fave. Thoughtfully sourced gourmet & organic wood-fired pizza in rustic-chic surroundings.
Rimrock Café
Located just outside of Creekside this is a locally owned Whistler institution since 1986. Warm, alpine lodge atmosphere, known for fresh seafood, premium game, and an award-winning wine list.
Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre
Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) – the heart of Whistler's authentic Indigenous experience – a First Nations Museum, Art Gallery and Gift Shop. The Cultural Centre displays both permanent and temporary exhibitions which showcase the many aspects of the Squamish and Lil’wat nations cultural history, traditions and practices from ancient times to modern day.
