Big snowy slopes in winter, lakes and bike trails in summer, two hours from Vancouver. Here's what Whistler is like with the family and when to go.
Check entry rules on GOV.UK before you book.
December to March is ski season, with lots of snow and a long season. July and August are warm, with lake swimming, mountain biking and gondola rides. October and November are wet and quiet.
One of North America's biggest ski areas, with great ski schools for children.
A record-breaking gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
A forest lake with a beach and floating docks, an easy walk from the village.
A paved bike path linking lakes, parks and the village.
Fly between the mountains on long zip lines.
A gondola and suspension bridge above Howe Sound, on the drive up from Vancouver.
Yes, in winter or summer. The village is car-free, and the ski schools and summer camps are excellent. It's expensive, so self-catering helps.
A week for skiing, or three to five nights in summer as part of a British Columbia trip.
No, but British passport holders flying to Canada, children included, need an eTA, which you apply for online. Check GOV.UK for the current rules.
Fly to Vancouver, then it's about two hours up the Sea to Sky Highway, by car or shuttle bus.
Put Whistler on standby with everyone's other ideas. You each spread your points in secret, get one veto, and the draw picks where you go.
