If you are looking for the great Canadian experience, you’ve come to the right place. And we mean it when we say, a really authentic experience because all the activities in Whistler tend to fall into the super Canadian category.

This is a is a small town with a big heart, we say sorry a lot, and we are world renowned because of our winters. Although small, only 11, 000 permanent citizens, we get over two million visitors per year. Many of these two million visitors, perhaps like yourself, are returning, because it’s hard to stay away from Whistler once you get to know it.

What Makes the Perfect Canadian Activity?

We are here to define – What is a Canadian Activity

Some say that it’s impossible to define what makes an activity genuinely Canadian. We at Forged Axe Throwing know that it usually is outside, full of adrenaline, and might have an aspect of friendly competition. Who are we kidding? It has to happen outdoors and involve nature in some way.

But, we get visitors year round, so Whistler is much more than the stereotype of snow, ice, and cold. And we’ve got super duper Canadian activities for the entire year round.  But whatever the season, Canadian activities will flush your face and make your heart beat faster. When it comes to living the Canadian, Whistler is one of the top choices.

If you don’t fall for skiing and snowboarding, the sweet hoary marmot of Whistler can be your quest. But we suggest trying any form of winter sport you enjoy. Skiing, snowboarding, bobsleigh, hockey, and ice skating are just some of them. Since the ‘90s, Whistler is among the top winter destinations in North America, so you will be pleased by snow and ice quality. But if you manage to visit Whistler only in the summer, don’t be upset. Mountain biking is a good summertime alternative to skiing.

The town is stunningly beautiful; its pedestrian village has won many awards. It continuously looks like a postcard so essentially ever photo is ‘Gram worthy. The surrounding landscape is also photogenic. Autumn colors or bear viewing, biking in fairytale forests, and crystal clear lakes will fill your agenda.

But let’s be specific. What are the best activities in Whistler? We are sure you want details, tips, and exact directions, so we’ve come up with a top of eight Whistler activities, Canadian to the bone and, of course, fun!
