The resort appears regularly in "Best of" lists from around the globe, winning for its incomparable skiing and boarding, as well as for its hotels, restaurants and golf courses.

Below is a small selection of the tours we can organise for you when you have booked your Canada holiday with us and are visiting Whistler.

Sightseeing on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola is a must do while in Whistler.

The gondola allows you to visit Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains in one day, on the way receiving a bird's eye view of the forest and spectacular mountains, valleys and glaciers. A special silver glass-bottom gondola provides a unique perspective of the forest.
