Sightseeing

Great beginner to intermediate mountain bike trails that will have you progressing in no time with a great lake to cool down afterwards. In the winter you can get a pass to explore the x-country ski trails.

Perfect for any weather, a gorgeous spa of alternating hot and cold therapies to leave you in a calm state. A perfect balance after physically pushing yourself on the mountain, and/or some nice quiet r&r away from the city.

City/town information

Nice small town with farms, outdoor adventure, and a quieter pace of life. One of the most picturesque mountains—Mount Currie—sits right at the end of the valley. The famous (and oft-instagrammed) Joffre Lakes is near too. Only 25 min away from Whistler!
