Enjoy the perfect weekend getaway in Whistler B.C. with this daily itinerary
A winter weekend getaway is closer than you think. Whistler Blackcomb is officially open for the season, and even if the early-season snow is still easing in, the festive vibes, village energy, and fresh mountain air make a trip to this B.C. town more enticing than ever.
Of course, having a good home base is key to any winter trip — and if you’re looking for the ideal place to stay, The Westin Resort & Spa puts you steps from the slopes with all the cozy comforts you want after a day outside.
Here’s how to spend the perfect day in beautiful Whistler in advance of the holiday season.
Breakfast in your suite
The Westin Resort & Spa is a gorgeous upscale hotel that combines with a familiar home-away-from-home vibe. Start your day off with breakfast in the well-appointed kitchen of your residential-style studio or suite.
From there, all you need to do is step outside to be at the mountains, with access to the Whistler Village Gondolas and Blackcomb Excalibur Gondola just steps away.
Hit the slopes
Nothing beats the rush of fresh mountain air. Grab your skis or snowboard, don your helmet, and take to the mountains! With more than 200 runs and 36 lifts, you could spend all day on the slopes without hitting the same trail twice.
As Whistler Blackcomb celebrates 60 years in business, it won’t take long for you to see why it has a reputation as one of the most beautiful ski resorts in North America.
Stroll the pedestrian village
A stay at the Westin Resort & Spa also gives you unparalleled access to the vibrant pedestrian village, which is especially gorgeous during the holiday season. Once you’re done on the hills, it’s definitely worth taking a stroll before dinnertime.
Explore the shops and restaurants, marvel at the beautiful Christmas lights, and watch the sun set against a picture-perfect backdrop of B.C.’s beautiful mountains. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Rest, rejuvenation & Westin wellness
After a busy day exploring Whistler, there’s nothing like returning to a suite designed for peak relaxation. Every suite at The Westin Resort & Spa is fitted with the brand’s signature Heavenly Bed — a plush top mattress wrapped in premium, high-quality bedding that practically melts around you and supports your body while you sleep. It’s the kind of setup that makes for deep restorative rest.
To stretch out after skiing or boarding, guests can also enjoy complimentary yoga classes, perfect for loosening tight muscles and getting grounded before another day in the mountains. It’s all part of Westin’s focus on wellness, helping you recharge so you can keep making the most of your winter escape.
Plus, is there any better way to unwind after a day outdoors than in a hot tub? Yeah, we didn’t think so. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools and hot tubs await so that you can swim and soak regardless of the weather, and get your muscles nice and relaxed to do it all again tomorrow.
Dinner at Grill & Vine
All your time outside has likely worked up quite the appetite. Experience world-class dining at Grill & Vine, a modern culinary experience to Whistler, sourcing regional, fresh, and sustainable ingredients while Executive Chef Elliot Brass puts his unique twist on Pacific Northwest favourites.
With a bright, open-kitchen concept and menus that cater to all lifestyles and dietary preferences, it’s the perfect spot to fuel up — whether you’re grabbing a wholesome breakfast before the gondola or settling in for a cozy dinner in a warm, welcoming environment.
