Add a day in Whistler
Just two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler is known as a world-class ski destination, but it's a stunning spot to visit spring through fall. Ride the gondola between dramatic snow-covered peaks, explore the village, and learn about local Indigenous culture.
Spend time in Vancouver
Vancouver's mild climate, large outdoor spaces and diverse neighbourhoods attract visitors year-round. Add on a couple of extra nights here, so you have time to explore the city.
