The Fairmont Chateau Whistler
The 2010 Winter Olympics are just around the corner, but you can get a head start by skiing and snowboarding down the same trails that the Olympians are going to by staying at The Fairmont Chateau Whistler, which is nestled at the base of Blackcomb Mountain. Located right at Blackcomb and also in close proximity to Whistler Mountain, The Fairmont Chateau Whistler gives new meaning to the phrase "ski-in, ski-out" convenience.
Both mountains boast over 100 trails, catering to skiers and snowboarders of all levels, so whether you think you have a decent shot at the gold in Vancouver 2010 or you're more comfortable on the bunny hills, you'll find more than enough trails to keep you busy. For example, confident intermediate and expert skiers can train at Dave Murray's Ski Camp, where the area's best coaches challenge you to train like the pros. Go for some rugged backcountry freeskiing through the most difficult terrain Whistler has to offer at Extremely Canadian, or if you're just a beginner, you can learn how to ski or snowboard, step by step, from world-class instructors. The readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine have rated Fairmont Chateau Whistler as Canada's #1 ski resort, so expect nothing short of the best.
While Whistler is easily one of North America's premier ski and snow destinations, it's so much more. This definitley isn't your grandfather's resort town, as Whistler has a vibrant nightlife scene. Furthermore, the innovative pedestrian village has won a slew of design awards and you can go there to shop for Native American art, locally made jewelry, the latest in fashion and apparel, and much more.
#1 Ski Resort isn't the only title that Fairmont Chateau Whistler claims. Conde Nast Travel readers have also voted it the #1 golf resort in Canada. The 18 hole, par 72 Fairmont Chateau Whistler Golf Course is worthy of a vacation of its own. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Fairmont Chateau Whistler to allow nature to dictate the path of the course, without constraints and commercial influences. Thus, the course traverses creeks, ponds, stands of ancient Douglas fir trees and granite rock faces, which testify to the fact that this magnificent golf course closely follows the region's naturally rugged terrain. Links Magazine calls it "Mountain Golf at its finest," and they won't find any argument here. Hotel guests of the Fairmont Chateau Whistler have the added privilege of complimentary, unlimited golf on the course. And as an added bonus, they also receive complimentary, unlimited use of the practice facilities.
With all of these outdoor activities the Fairmont Chateau Whistler has to offer, it's a good thing they have some very comfortable rooms to come back to at night, so that you can recharge your batteries before going out to hit the links, the slopes, or the town again the next day. The tastefully designed guest rooms have all the modern amenities you would expect from a Fairmont hotel, and windows which provide rustic vistas and open to let in the fresh mountain air. The most discerning of travelers may fancy staying in one of the two Fairmont Penthouse Gold suites, which are accessible by private elevator. These feature gas burning fireplaces, opulent marble bathrooms, and most importantly, 25-foot floor to ceiling windows that provide breathtaking views of the mountains and glass French doors that lead out to a viewing balcony.
And what stay at a luxury resort would be complete without a visit to a first rate spa. The on-site Vida Wellness Spa at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler blends the ancient Indian principles of Ayurveda together with modern practices to provide guests with a personalized experience that will rejuvenate both their bodies and souls. The Vida Wellness Spa features, among other things, three whirlpools and two Eucalyptus steam rooms.
