Whistler is the most idyllic weekend getaway with its close proximity to Vancouver and plethora of activities to take on no matter the season.
But if you’re looking for just a one day mini-trip to Whistler this Summer, there’s a lot you can do in just 24-hours.
Perfect 24-Hours In Whistler
The Accommodations

Whistler has tons of cool spots to stay but if you only have 24-hours here you have to be close to all the action. We suggest staying right on the strip, in the heart of the village at Crystal Lodge or in the new Pangea Pod Hotel opening this Summer. This gives you a chance to walk out and explore all the strip has to offer right outside your front door.
The Food

If charcuterie and cocktails are your thing then you have to check out Basalt Wine and Salumeria. They have a sprawling patio where you can people-watch those walking along the strip while digging into a delicious meal. They also serve an array of entrees and desserts. Other popular options in the area include: Araxi, Longhorn Saloon & Grill, Beacon Pub and Handlebar.

The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is a Guinness Book of World Records-holder as being the longest and highest lift. Some of the gondolas even have a window of glass at the bottom if you’re brave enough to look below you. You may even spot a bear or other wildlife nestled through the trees.
The Outdoor Activities

Whistler is the perfect place for outdoor enthusiasts, so start exploring. In the Summer there’s still lots to do in the area. Check out mountain biking, brave the heights and go ziplining or challenge yourself to a hike.

Want to burn off a little steam or just have a fun night out with friends? Head over to Forged Axe Throwing in Function Junction. You can drop-in for an hour long session throwing different sizes of axes and even trying to throw two at the same time. They can host big groups and you can compete side-by-side with your friends, bring it on.
The Spa
