Your day-to-day plan
Day 1
Whistler
Arrive at Vancouver International Airport where a scheduled transfer awaits to take you to Whistler, travelling up the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway. After checking in to your hotel, you can begin to explore the pedestrianised downtown which has many fantastic restaurants and bars in which to spend the evening.
Day 2-5
Whistler
Spend 4 days skiing the two mounts of Whistler and Blackcomb. Offering over 8,100 combined acres of skiable terrain, more than 200 marked trails, 3 glaciers, 37 lifts and 16 alpine bowls you’ll be hard pushed to explore it all. Whistler is the perfect versatile resort for families and groups of friends of mixed skiing abilities. Most of the runs are intermediate level but there is a ski school and plenty of long, gentle runs leading right into the village. Away from the slopes there are plenty of other activities to keep you entertained such as snow-shoeing, ice skating, snowmobiling even bobsleigh!
Day 6
Whitehorse
A scheduled transfer will take you back down to Vancouver Airport in time for your flight to Whitehorse. Upon arrival at the airport, you will be greeted by a local representative of Northern Tales Travel Services, who will welcome you to the Yukon and transfer you to your hotel. Once you have checked in, you will receive an orientation meeting describing what to expect during your stay. The rest of the day is yours until your first evening viewing of the Aurora Borealis. Departing the hotel at 22:00 in groups, you will be taken to a prime viewing area and treated to snacks and hot drinks during your viewing. Contemplate the sublime beauty of this fascinating array of blues, reds, greens and violets in this idyllic setting as you relax in a cosy heated cabin or walled tent. Return to the hotel at approximately 02:30.
