Skiurlaub in Whistler

Whistler Blackcomb has a vast variety of green pistes through varying altitudes, giving beginners a 'whole mountain' experience. Slow skiing zones are spread across the ski resort and highlighted on piste maps, which are marshalled by a Mountain Safety Team. Both mountains also have snowboarding lessons and feature specialised camps with instruction and activities.

Over half of Whistler Blackcomb's pistes are graded for intermediates, meaning that new challenges await those who return year on year. Challenging mogul fields, exciting heli-skiing, tree skiing and off-piste ventures await the more experienced. Both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains have their own terrain park for snowboarders. Whistler caters more for beginners and Blackcomb for the experienced snowboarder, but both have half-pipes and jumps.

Whistler Blackcomb's high alpine areas offer superb wide-open bowls, steep chutes and thrilling double black diamond pistes. Immerse yourself in a culture of epic freestyle skiing and soak up every opportunity to challenge your skills. Snowboarders will exhilarate their sensations with the free riding here and in other off-piste locations.

Whistler Blackcomb has licensed childcare for babies and toddlers and parents are provided with a pager. The resort has a Children's Adventure Park, Adventure Zone and a play-fort. On Whistler mid-mountain, families can ski downhill on special green runs. The green runs on Whistler feature 'Family Zones' and 'Go Slow' areas.

Whistler's friendly village boasts a lively and diverse après ski scene. Beautiful mountain views, live music and a friendly atmosphere characterise the best of the après spots. Amongst many others, look out for Longhorn Saloon, Merlin's and Black's Pub for a brilliant time away from the pistes. Stay in the know – Whistler's bars and clubs are for those aged over the legal drinking age of 19 years old, carry ID just in case.
