Whistler: Canada’s ultimate all-rounder for a Northern Hemisphere winter escape

From its towering alpine peaks to its lively pedestrian village, Whistler Blackcomb delivers one of the most complete snow holiday experiences in the world.

As the largest ski resort in North America, it has long been a favourite among international travellers - and for Australians looking to plan an unforgettable snow holiday for the 2025/26 season, it offers an unbeatable mix of adventure, convenience and atmosphere.

Whether you're travelling with kids, chasing powder with friends, or indulging in a romantic, luxury winter getaway, Whistler ticks every box.

Two Mountains, One Iconic Resort

Whistler Blackcomb is massive in every sense of the word.

Together, the twin mountains offer more than 8000 acres of skiable terrain, over 200 marked trails, and a vertical drop of 1609 metres.

Add in 16 alpine bowls, three glaciers, and one of the most advanced lift systems in North America, and you’ve got a resort built to impress even the most seasoned skiers and snowboarders.

The sheer variety of terrain means there's something for everyone - from gentle beginner slopes and long cruising groomers to steep chutes, gladed tree runs and expansive powder bowls.

The snow record is reliable, and when storms roll in from the Pacific, they often deliver deep, dry snowfall that can transform the mountains overnight.

The Heart of the Action

At the base of the mountains lies Whistler Village, a vibrant pedestrian-only hub that blends alpine charm with a cosmopolitan edge.

Buzzing with life from morning to night, the village is home to high-end hotels, luxury condos, cosy cafés, après-ski bars, designer boutiques and some of Canada’s best restaurants.

Start the day with gourmet coffee, fuel up with Japanese ramen or Quebecois poutine for lunch, and wind down with a locally crafted cocktail or five-course tasting menu. Whether you’re stepping off the slopes or indulging in a day off, the village atmosphere is as much a part of the Whistler experience as the mountains themselves.

Not Just for Skiers

While the skiing and snowboarding is world-class, Whistler is equally rewarding for non-skiers and those looking to take a break from the slopes.

Winter experiences range from snowmobiling through backcountry trails to dog sledding, ice climbing, and ziplining over frozen valleys.

For something more relaxed, the Scandinave Spa is a favourite for its steaming hot pools, cold plunges, and serene forest setting.

You can also explore local and national art at the majestic Audain Art Museum, or ignite your senses at Vallea Lumina, an immersive light show set in the forested surrounds of Cougar Mountain, join a guided snowshoe tour, or take in sweeping views from the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola - the highest lift of its kind in the world.

A Family Favourite

Whistler has long been a top pick for families travelling from Australia, thanks to its exceptional facilities, wide range of accommodation options, and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The Whistler Kids Snow School is among the best in North America, offering programs for toddlers through teens, taught by skilled instructors who know how to make learning fun.

Families will also appreciate the range of off-mountain activities, including tubing, ice skating, indoor climbing walls, and kid-friendly dining in the village.

Many hotels offer suites or condos with kitchens and laundry - ideal for longer stays - and ski-in/ski-out options make logistics easy, even with little legs in tow.
