Whistler, Resort municipality in British Columbia, Canada.
Located in the Coast Mountains, Whistler sits at 670 meters elevation, surrounded by glacial lakes, old-growth forests, and mountain peaks.
The region began its transformation from wilderness to tourism destination in 1914 when Myrtle and Alex Philip established Rainbow Lodge in the area.
The territory carries deep connections to the Squamish Nation and Lil'wat First Nation, who maintained settlements in the region for thousands of years.
Visitors reach Whistler through the Sea-to-Sky Highway, with regular shuttle services operating from Vancouver International Airport throughout the year.
The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola system spans 4.4 kilometers between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, offering year-round mountain access for sports activities.
