The journey itself to Whistler is a thing of pure natural beauty, it takes you along the world’s most southern glacial fjord, the Howe Sound.
It is easy to see why this drive is ranked as one of the top 5 drives in the world. Don’t forget to look out for the old copper mine at Britannia Beach, once the largest copper mine in the British Empire.
On our way to the Olympic Village, gaze up, way up, as we pass the world’s 2nd largest granite monolith, the Stawamus Chief, 700 metres (2297 feet). Those little colourful dots you may see are the brave climbers hanging from the rock face.
