Mountainside Lodge

Whistler. A Year-Round Playground.

Quick Area Guide

One of North America’s premier travel destinations, Whistler is an alpine paradise in the winter and a flourishing playground in the summer.  The site of the 2010 Winter Olympics, Whistler is full of continuous excitement.  A skier and snowboarder’s dream, a shopper’s delight, an outdoor lover’s home away from home—Whistler has it all.

Mountainside Lodge is only a one-minute walk from Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, two of the best ski mountains in North America.  And there is no shortage of things to do in the summer, including hiking, cycling, horseback riding, fishing, and more.  And at Mountainside Lodge you’ll be steps away from village shopping, fine dining, and world-class golf.  Here are just a few of your choices:

Blackcomb Mountain
Great skiing opportunities for those who don't want the crowds at Whistler. 1,584m (5,196 ft.) of vertical and over 100 marked runs that are serviced by nine high-speed chairlifts, plus three other lifts and tows.

Garibaldi Provincial Park
Here you will find a range of hiking opportunities from lush alpine meadows, wildlife viewing opportunities, alpine flowers blooming in lush meadows, and hikes ranging from a few hours to a few days using map and compass.
