Whistler, a Popular Tourist Destination
Located in British Columbia, Whistler is one of the continent's top tourist destinations. Over two million tourists visit Whistler each year not only for skiing during winter months, but also for summer activities such as fishing and boating.
Whistler has the largest ski area in North America with about seven thousand acres of ski area, two hundred marked trails and twelve alpine bowls. It has the most advanced ski lifts as well as the longest ski seasons which last from November to May.
Even in the summer, there is a wide variety of activities to suit every age, such as mountain biking, hiking, golf, kayaking, fishing and ATV driving.
Whistler will be one of the host cities for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, specifically for technical and speed events. There are plans for constructing an athlete's village area to house more than two thousand athletes. Whistler is definitely the place to be in 2010.
Where to Stay in Whistler
The best place to stay is definitely at one of the Whistler bed and breakfast places. Just like bed and breakfast in Boston, Vermont or other tourist destinations, Whistler bed and breakfast accommodations offer not only a quiet and comfortable place to stay but also good breakfasts and extra features like wireless Internet access. Since these Whistler bed and breakfast places are managed by the owners themselves, you are treated with a very personal touch, just as though you were in your own home.
Whistler bed and breakfast houses are conveniently located within walking distance of the ski lodges or recreation areas. Most bed and breakfast places there give you a breathtaking view of the majestic mountains and lakes that surround the vicinity. Practically all the Whistler bed and breakfast home owners will arrange for your ski pass and transportation arrangements for the ski resorts.
Each Whistler bed and breakfast home typically has from six to ten rooms each, so that there is no overcrowding. Owners will even let you rent out the entire home for your own private reception or tour group.
Most of the places advertise through online sites, and you can make your reservations directly with them. The sites already show the room rates and indicate if there are any seasonal promotions available. You can expect to pay anywhere between one to three hundred Canadian dollars, depending on room size and features. Many of the places give discounts if you stay longer than five nights. Once you have booked an accommodation, you need to pay a full month before your scheduled arrival.
