| Whistler | SHOPPING, DINING, ENTERTAINMENT & MORE |
(1) Yearning for an ultra-decadent pampering session? The Four Seasons Resort Spa treats you not only with its services, but also with its views of snow-capped mountains, alpine meadows and glaciers.
(2) Too cold to climb Whistler mountain? Head to The Core for some indoor rock climbing. There are 511 square metres (5500 square feet) of easy routes and steep overhangs to test your vertical limits.
(3) It might be hard to convince yourself to jump into your hotel’s outdoor pool while it’s snowing outside. Head to Meadow Park Sports Centre, which boasts a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, ice skating rink and fitness centre.
(4) When was the town of Whistler created and who is credited for its birth? Find out at the Whistler Museum & Archives, which records and preserves the community’s history.
(5) After a long day of skiing or sightseeing, your tootsies probably need some love. My Foot Reflexology offers foot massages, foot baths and upper-body massages.
(6) Take a stroll through The Path Gallery to see the talents of local artists such as Alano Etzerza, Chris Paul and Susan Point. For works by international artists Hamilton Aguiar, David Graff and Leon Belsky, visit The Whistler Village Art Gallery.
(7) Feeling inspired by Whistler artists? Expressions Art Studio helps you turn that inspiration into a masterpiece you can take home as a souvenir. Whether you're age 4 or 67, let your inner Picasso play with art lessons and workshops available daily.
(8) If you need a break from the great outdoors, the Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa takes you to Indonesia—even if only for a few hours—with soothing massages, Balinese scrubs and papaya body polishes.
(9) For an all-in-one art and cuisine experience, visit Araxi restaurant in the village. The award-winning eatery is known for fine food, an extensive wine list and an abundance of art and antiques that keep eyes—and taste buds—satisfied.
(10) After a long day, check out what’s going on at BBK's Pub, where live music, wine tastings and book readings top off the perfect night. It’s a good idea to go early, because this cozy, living room-like pub only has 24 seats.
