Fall is the perfect time to dive into all the myriad activities that Whistler Blackcomb has to offer. From mountain biking to zip-lining and golfing, you can do it all. It’s like having your very own mountain playground. The stunning autumn foliage transforms the mountains and valleys into a vibrant tapestry of red, orange and gold, creating a breathtaking backdrop for outdoor activities. Exploring the colourful trails allows you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and witness the changing seasons firsthand. And the weather is usually still mild and pleasant, making it perfect for enjoying the resort’s many outdoor offerings, such as mountain biking, zip-lining and golfing. The crowds are also much smaller compared to the busy winter and summer seasons, allowing you to enjoy a more peaceful and intimate experience.
The perfect fall getaway: Fall is also a great time to take advantage of fantastic deals and special packages at hotels like the Four Seasons Resort Whistler. This luxurious haven of tranquility is located in the quieter Upper Village, just a short walk or shuttle ride from Whistler Village and the Whistler Blackcomb ski lifts. You can choose from a range of accommodations, from cozy rooms with mountain views to expansive suites and private residences with all the bells and whistles. Think elegant wooden interiors, fireplaces, roomy balconies and plush bedding.
Pampering reimagined: As expected from the Four Seasons brand, the resort’s wellness amenities are exceptional, catering to guests who appreciate impeccable attention to detail and pampering in an atmosphere of understated elegance. The resort’s Spa, reopening in December 2023 after a major refurbishment, promises even more Zen vibes and decadent bliss than ever. Spa enhancements include rustic touches that reinforce a connection to nature, using granite and slate to elevate the ambiance and bespoke treatments inspired by the natural elements of the region, such as the Sea to Sky Massage, the Maple Sugar Scrub and the Peak to Feet Experience. After your pampering, kick back in the relaxation lounge with a cup of herbal tea, taking in the breathtaking mountain views. And there’s more—a eucalyptus steam room, cedar sauna, heated outdoor pool and hot tubs surrounded by towering evergreen trees and the crisp mountain air. The fitness centre features state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of classes to keep guests active and energized. And outdoor adventurers will love the easy access to the Whistler Blackcomb slopes. Fall hiking and biking anyone?
