Farmers Market
The amazing Whistler Farmers Market has been moved back to its home, in the Upper Village at the base of Blackcomb. Every Sunday (and long weekend Saturdays) the walking strip from the Fairmont Chateau to Merlins bar is lined with local vendors selling anything from maple taffy to gorgeous ceramics. It’s a super fun weekend activity and a great way to support small local businesses. I definitely suggest trying the snow cones and wood oven pizza, before playing a round of mini golf beside the base of Blackcomb. Click the link below for more info about dates, times, and vendors.

Blackcomb Ascent trail
The multiple Burn Ascent trails up Blackcomb mountain are definitely a bucket list item. The trail mainly runs through old growth forest heading upon to the top of the Blackcomb gondola, but of course there’s always the option of downloading halfway up at mid station. Don’t forget to purchase your download lift tickets at Whistler Blackcomb guest services before starting the trek up. Click the link below for more info on the trail.

River of Golden Dreams
Definitely a Whistler favourite, the River of Golden Dreams runs through the town and has many pullout stops and mini beaches. You can take SUP, kayaks and even canoes down the river, or the classic blow up loungers. This is the perfect hot summer day activity with the chilly glacier river right beside you to dippin and cool off. Or if you’re just looking for a place to sit by the water, Meadow park is definitely my favourite, and it has a gorgeous view of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.
