　　The perfect place to uncover the rough-and-tumble roots of this old frontier town, you'll find exhibits on everything from First Nations origins to colonial-era settlement and more recent social history. Look out for some arresting taxidermy and ask the volunteers if there are any archive images of Potato Jack, the cowboy-dressed spud who is the town's traditional mascot.

Must-see attractions

Cloudraker Skybridge

　　The newest attraction on Whistler Mountain is this 130m-long suspension bridge with a see-through base that connects the top of Whistler Peak with the Raven’s Eye viewing platform on the West Ridge. Opened in summer 2018, the bridge is accessed by hiking downhill for 15 minutes from the Roundhouse Lodge...

Pemberton Distillery

　　Located in an old industrial area, stepping inside here is a breath of fresh air – especially if you're an artisan booze fan. One of the elders of the BC craft liquor movement, they started making silky-smooth vodka from local potatoes here but have since added organic gin, absinthe, hemp...

Audain Art Museum

　　The opening of the Audain in 2016 elevated Whistler from ‘world-class ski resort’ to ‘world-class ski resort with serious art credentials'. With two-dozen works by iconic painter Emily Carr, a priceless collection of indigenous masks, and sparkling photoconceptualist images by Jeff Wall, Rodney Graham et al, this is no rainy-day...

Arrive early for...

Peak 2 Peak Gondola

　　Built to link the area's two main mountaintops, the world's second-longest free-span gondola eases passengers along a lofty and ethereally peaceful 4.4km ride that takes around 11 minutes to complete. En route, you can gaze down on forest, crags, skiers and bears – especially if you snag one of the...

Whistler Museum & Archives

　　Tucked into an anonymous green shed behind the library building, this great little museum traces Whistler's development from 1970s hippy hangout to 21st-century resort. The story is as compelling as it is short, speckled with interesting exhibits such as the original 1965 ski-lift gondola and a 2010 Olympic torch. Don't...

Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre

　　This handsome, wood-beamed facility showcases two quite different First Nations groups – the Lil'wat and the Squamish – who have inhabited this region for eons. Take a tour for the vital context behind the museumlike exhibits and keep your eyes open for on-site artist demonstrations during the summer, when there...
