White Gold Vacation Rentals for Skiers & Snowboarders

The Valley Trail provides a direct and car-free connection to the village and both gondola bases, so getting to the mountain each morning is effortless.

White Gold Vacation Rentals for Mountain Biking & Summer Adventure
Lost Lake Park is right on the neighborhood's doorstep and is one of Whistler's most treasured natural gems. The lake itself is stunning, with a sandy beach, floating docks, and crystal clear mountain water that invites you to slow down and stay a while. On a warm summer day, the docks are the place to be, whether you are swimming, sunbathing, paddleboarding, or simply watching the mountains reflect off the water. The Whistler Mountain Bike Park is easily reachable via the Valley Trail, and after a long day on the trails, the world-renowned Scandinave Spa is just minutes away, nestled in the cedar and spruce forest on the edge of the lake. One of Whistler's most searched and celebrated experiences, the Scandinave's Nordic hydrotherapy circuit of hot baths, cold plunges, saunas, and silent rest areas is the ultimate way to recover and reset.

A History and Overview of Whistler
Whistler and the surrounding areas hold thousands of years of history as these lands were the home of the Coast Salish First Nations before Europeans arrived, with Whistler serving as a valuable trading post between the Squamish and Lil'wat nations. Many of the hiking tracks around Whistler are actually the traditional routes of the Coast Salish peoples, and you can follow their paths to view nature and the landscape similarly to how they once did. You can also visit the Squamish-Lil'wat Cultural Centre to get a complete grasp of the region's history and identity.
Named "Whistler" thanks to the shrill sound that the local hoary marmot populations make, the early 1900s saw European settlement, first as a small hunting and fishing village, then as a successful mining town until the 1950s turned it into a popular summer vacation spot. The 1960s saw the first ski resort on the mountain open, and then in 2010, Whistler hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
