Whistler is more than early lift lines and steep powder runs. With world-class spa’s, culinary experiences from all over the world as well as unique indoor and outdoor activities to suit everyone. At the Crystal Lodge, we see every type of traveller come to Whistler and this has allowed us to compose a list of things to do outside of Whistler Blackcomb.
