Nature lovers

Whistler Blackcomb

If there’s one thing Whistler Blackcomb guarantees, no matter the season, it’s the abundant wildlife and natural beauty. As the snow melts during the warmer months, the mountains bloom with thousands of wildflowers, transforming the white-peaked summits into brightly-hued hills. Peak season for these blooms starts near the end of July and continues into mid-August. 

Whistler Blackcomb is also home to more than 40 black bears and cubs, who have uniquely adapted to living within the ski area. Take in their beauty (from a safe distance) with a private bear viewing tour, and learn more about the only population of bears in the province that has been studied for over 20 years.
