Whistler, Canada

Whistler is one of the most sought-after and exciting resorts in the world.

This superb Canadian resort enjoys an enviable average of 11.74 metres of snow a year. Wherever you stay, access to the skiing is easy. Whistler has been purpose-built with all facilities and amenities clustered around the base of the resort. The architecture is an attractive West Coast style with cobbled pathways and well-designed buildings throughout this pedestrianised resort.
