Whistler is known for being one of the most iconic winter destinations in the world, and for good reason. From its breathtaking alpine landscapes to world-class skiing and snowboarding, there’s no shortage of adventure. But Whistler is more than just a ski town; it’s a hub for relaxation, culinary excellence, and unique winter experiences. Why limit yourself to just a few days when there’s so much to explore? By staying longer, you’ll not only save more but also have the chance to truly immerse yourself in everything Whistler has to offer. Whether it’s giving yourself time to recover between powder days, indulging in all the best restaurants, or trying exciting activities like ziplining or snowmobiling, staying longer ensures you don’t miss a thing.


Why stay longer?

  1. Save more when you stay longer: Take advantage of our Winter Length of Stay Offer and enjoy greater savings the longer you stay.
     
  2. Recover between ski days: Give yourself time to relax and recharge so you can hit the slopes feeling refreshed.
     
  3. Flexibility with weather: A longer stay gives you options. If it rains one day, you won’t feel pressured to ski, and if there’s a big powder day, you can spend the next day unwinding at the spa.
     
  4. Time to explore Whistler’s culinary scene: With so many amazing restaurants, you’ll want more than just a couple of days to experience them all.
     
  5. Experience everything Whistler has to offer: From snowmobiling to ziplining, you’ll have the time to try all the incredible activities beyond the slopes.
