Whistler Resort is nestled between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains which are part of the Coastal Mountain range of British Columbia, Canada. Whistler is located 120 km / 75 miles north of Vancouver.

The trip from Vancouver by car, bus, or boat/bus/train combination, samples some of British Columbia's most breathtaking coastal and mountain scenery. Along the way, you can stop at the spectacular Shannon Falls near Squamish.

Chinatown at the open-air night market. Strollers will find the area pedestrian-friendly as several blocks are closed to traffic, transforming the streetscape into a psychedelic neon-lit scene. With vendors selling everything from dried seafood to exotic fruits and vegetables to life-sized stuffed animals, the Chinatown Night Market is a must-see.

North America's largest aerial tramway, the Skyride is a great way to take in the city, sea, and mountain vistas (be sure to pick a clear day or evening), and you'll have plenty to do after you arrive at the top of Grouse Mountain. The Skyride makes the 2-km (1-mi) climb up to the peak every 15 minutes. A Skyride ticket includes a half-hour video presentation at the Theatre in the Sky. Free mountaintop activities include lumberjack shows, summertime chairlift rides, walking tours, hiking, and a chance to visit grizzly cubs and other local species at the mountain's wildlife refuge.

Although it's safe, you will want to grip the rope as you step out on to the creaky wooden planks of this bridge, which provides a look down at the glorious Capilano River raging 230 feet below. This popular attraction, the city's oldest, isn't recommended for those who fear heights. Ten minutes from downtown, the attraction includes a restaurant, Trading Post gift shop, a Native Carving Centre and guided tours.
