Luxury homes for sale in Whistler

Whistler, in southwestern Canada, is a chalet-style pedestrian village with a small-town vibe and big city amenities nestled between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in the Fitzsimmons Range of British Columbia.  

Whistler’s permanent population of just 13,000 lives two hours north of Vancouver at 2,198 feet above sea level. 

Known as a vacation and second home destination, Whistler attracts millions of visitors each year along with luxury home buyers. Both travelers and residents enjoy the peaceful mountain atmosphere and quaint town filled with activities.  

The main attraction in the area is one of the largest ski resorts in North America, the famous Whistler Blackcomb, which has over 200 ski runs and 39 lifts. The newest one, the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, is the first tri-cable lift to stretch between the two mountains.  

Whistler is a haven for winter outdoor activities of all kinds, including skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, tubing, ice fishing, ice skating, ice climbing and ziplining, all with the stunning mountains as a backdrop.  

The adventurous can try out ski jumping or bobsledding at the Olympic Park, one of the venues for the 2010 Winter Olympics, or take a helicopter ride farther out into the mountains to ski the backcountry outside of the resort.  

The winter is not just for snow in Whistler. The Cornucopia festival at the end of November is an annual food and wine event that showcases all the flavors and culinary talents of the village.  

There is no shortage of outdoor fun during the summer months in Whistler, either. Visitors and residents alike enjoy walking, running, skating or biking on a paved trail system that extends through the valley for over 45 kilometers – the Valley Trail.  

Mountain biking is a major attraction in the warmer months, culminating in the annual Crankworx festival in August. The best bikers congregate in Whistler for races, competitions on the slopes, activities for kids and a celebration of all things mountain biking.  

The village is surrounded by not just mountains, but three lakes – Cheakamus, Garibaldi and Daisy – perfect for boating, kayaking and canoeing, along with three world-class golf courses.
