Whistler
Although originally designed as a ski resort, Whistler is now the perfect all-season holiday destination. With a pretty pedestrian village centre, good retail therapy, awe-inspiring scenery and easy access from Vancouver by road and rail, this is an excellent spot to spend some of your holiday. There are so many things to do that you will need 2 weeks to do the half of them but on the assumption that you will be trying to fit it all into 2 or 3 days, we would recommend the golf, the bear watching and the mountain biking! For something a little less energetic, a walk along the Valley floor is beautiful and the shopping excellent.
