Whistler is a Canadian resort town in the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains in the province of British Columbia, Canada, approximately 125 kilometres (78 mi) north of Vancouver.

Legendary Whistler, regarded as one of the top four-season resorts in North America, has become even more world-renowned as the site of the alpine and nordic venues for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Blending the charm of an alpine village with the amenities of an urban centre, the pedestrianized Whistler Village offers. fine dining, vibrant nightlife, eclectic boutiques, revitalising spas, and luxurious hotels.

Hike or walk to streaming waterfalls, crystal lakes and rugged backcountry in Whistler's mountains and parks. Enjoy breath-taking views of glaciers, meadows chock-full of flowers, alpine lakes, and summit after summit.

Getting up and down the adjacent Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains is facilitated by gondolas which go up both mountains from passenger stations within walking distance of the Delta Whistler Village Suites. But, there is also a gondola which connects the peaks of the two mountains with a spectacular if not frightening 4.4 km (1.88 mile) unsupported span between towers above the valley as much as 436 m (1427 ft) below! All aboard!
