a) Upper
Village
This is where Wildwood Lodge is located.
There isn't a better location in town if you're looking
to stay "on the Mountain". The Upper Village
area is snuggled into the base of Blackcomb Mountain and
is truly alive with activity all year long. The flagship
hotel is the Chateau Whistler, which houses a selection
of specialty shops on its mezzanine level, and offers spa
and message therapy facilities. The main shopping area
winds its way past Monk McQueen's & the Blackcomb
Daylodge. Photo finishing, sportswear, a jewellery store
and a variety of pubs, restaurants, cafes and delis make
up this charming slice of Whistler Resort.
b) Whistler Village
Sometimes referred to as the original
village it is situated at the base of both Whistler &
Blackcomb Mountain. The area comprises an interwoven
cobblestone pedestrian walkway in which cars are strictly
off-limits. Throughout the year, street entertainment
abounds with strolling musicians, comedians, jugglers and
magicians. Whistler Village is host to 3 main stage areas
in which you'll enjoy live bands performing everything
from jazz and country to classical and zydeco music.

shops, contemporary art galleries, arts & craft store
offering indigenous works, gift shops, upscale clothing
for men & women, sporting equipment, accessories,
apparel and rentals, bath & body products, and a
selection of well known North American retail chain favourites.

grocery chain store. With glorious views of side-by-side
Whistler & Blackcomb Mountains, and an unbeatable
variety of businesses, Village North will soon develop a
reputation as the place to see and be seen.
