Canada: Celebrating a
150th Anniversary in 2017
With a collection of 16 properties in Canada (and
others around the world), many Fairmont hotels
and resorts are located in naturally-stunning
environments, thus making them a great fit for
outdoor enthusiasts.
Celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2017,
Canada is known for its vast natural attributes
and, lucky for Fairmont fans, there are a number
of unique properties in Canadian destinations
that are acclaimed for their striking natural
environments. One is Whistler, a resort town
located in the Coast Mountain Range about a
two-and-a-half drive from Vancouver.
Snuggling into the base of Whistler’s
Blackcomb Mountain, the Fairmont Chateau
Whistler offers a year-round Whistler Experience.
Considered one of Canada’s top ski destinations,
Whistler is connected to Vancouver by the Sea to
Sky Highway, one of the country’s most scenic
drives and well worth the less than two-hours it
takes to make the trip.
Beyond the expected downhill and cross-
country facilities, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler
hosts invigorating excursions such as the guided,
day or night snowshoe tours around nearby Lost
Lake or at the Chateau Whistler Golf Club.
Skating along iced paths at Whistler Olympic
Plaza is another winter fitness option. And, for
hikers, there’s a tour that takes guests along the
glacier-fed Cheakamus River and under the
canopy of giant coastal evergreens to the remains
For a true local’s perspective on the area, join
one of the daily outings led by Fairmont’s
Whistler Experience Guide.
