Whistler is a Mecca for the outdoor enthusiast, and a veri-table fountain of youth for the young at heart. In winter the mountains are peppered with skiers and snowboarders, and

in the valley people can be found ice-skating, snowshoeing and XC skiing. These activities are usually followed by ample revelry at night, and some may find themselves burning the candle at both ends. Usually it’s your body that has the final say in whether or not you can get up to do it all over again the next day.

To keep up with this healthy and active lifestyle Whistler residents and guests alike need a team of professionals to keep joints limber, knots kneaded, and stress managed. From award-winning spas, to international yoga instructors, and world-class physiotherapists, Whistler has everything you need to keep yourself in top form. This is why the resort is fast becoming known as a destination for health and wellness. Whether you’ve come to Whistler for the action of the slopes, or the tranquility of the mountains it’s a great place to cultivate a healthier lifestyle, and find a balance between spiritual and physical wellness.

If you do take a tumble while in resort, it’s also a great place to get patched up. With several medical clinics, dentists, chiropractors and physiotherapists, who all live and breath the mountain culture, you’re in good hands. Whistler is also a fun place to get some five star pampering, from steaming hot pools and seaweed scrubs, to paraffin wax hand treatments and age defying facials – there’s a lot on the wellness menu.

Whether you’ve come to Whistler for the action of

the slopes, or the tranquility of the mountains it’s a great place to cultivate a healthier lifestyle, and find a balance

between spiritual and physical wellness
