Whistler is a vibrant community nestled in the Coast Mountains 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada along the scenic Sea to Sky Highway. Home to Whistler and Blackcomb, consistently regarded as the best ski mountains in North America, and a summer paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, Whistler offers alpine scenery on a breathtaking scale. A scenic two-hour drive from Vancouver along the Sea To Sky Highway brings you into the heart of this alpine valley. Renowned as the top-ranked ski area in North America and home of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Whistler easily rivals the major ski regions of Europe. It is one of only four places in the world with 12-month skiing. The mountains offer over 200 marked trails, with 12 magnificent bowls and each with a vertical drop exceeding 1,524 metres (5,000 feet). Winter also brings snowshoeing, sleigh rides, skating, and glacier skiing. In warm weather, the natural landscape challenges with mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, rafting, mountaineering ? and superb golf.
The Fairmont Chateau Whistler is an all-season luxury resort, opening its doors in 1989.

Rustic Canadian antique pieces representative of the country in its youth were collected in Labrador, Baffin Island, the Laurentians, the Maritimes, rural Ontario and the West Coast.
