Four Romantic Getaways: Part 2 – Whistler

#FairmontLovesFebruary – Romantic Getaway to Whistler

Canada’s Western Mountains are home to four beautiful destinations that have everything need for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re looking to surprise that special someone for a Valentine’s Day long weekend or to celebrate your love some other time in February, we’ve put together romantic recommendations for Jasper, Whistler, Banff and Lake Louise. All you have to do is choose where you want to go!

Planning a Romantic Getaway to Whistler?

If you’re planning a whimsical Valentine’s Day in Whistler, we suggest the following for pure romance, frills, and maybe some thrills!

Stay: Fairmont Chateau Whistler – From luxurious accommodations, personalized service, and everyone’s favorite après lounge, The Mallard, the Chateau can’t be beat! And if skiing is part of your agenda, the Chateau has the best slopeside location in all of Whistler. Ski-in, ski-out until your heart’s content!

Play: Of course there’s skiing and snowboarding but if you want a truly unique and thrilling escape, explore Whistler backcountry together on a snowmobile tour. Hold on tight to your loved one, or ride side by side, making first lines together through untouched snow in breathtaking scenery. This is one wilderness ride in Whistler you’ll both remember for years to come.

Relax: Book some time for the two of you to soak in the soothing outdoor baths at Whistler’s most unique spa at Scandinave Spa. Engulfed in a spruce and cedar forest and overlooking mountain vistas and Whistler Blackcomb’s scenic valleys, awaits a tranquil oasis. The spa’s hot baths and refreshing waterfalls are sure to melt the world away.

Feel like sticking closer to your home-away-from-home? Recharge mountainside at the Chateau. Slip into the heated outdoor pool or one of the hot tubs. Warm up in the cedar barrel saunas, or cozy up by the fire with a warm beverage. Fairmont Chateau Whistler’s pool deck is the perfect place to sit back and relax.

Dine: Sip, dip, repeat! Indulge in the best fondue Whistler has to offer at The Chalet. There’s nothing like a bubbling fondue for two to keep things playful and romantic. Try cheese, Chinoise, chocolate—whichever your hearts desire! Pair with an exceptional wine from BC wineries like Roche Wines or Blasted Church. Reservations are recommended—we suggest you book well in advance.

Explore: Described by some as “the ultimate winter date night”, Vallea Lumina (The Winter Journey) is a must-do magical experience. Just 10 minutes from Whistler Village, the 45 minute adventure is a multimedia nightwalk through an enchanted forest. The pictures say it all.
