Praktické informácie
Whistler's culinary scene is surprisingly robust for a mountain destination. The Whistler Farmers' Market, held on Sundays in the Upper Village, features local produce, artisanal cheeses, and handmade crafts. It's a spot where visitors can sample British Columbia's bounty and meet the producers behind the goods. For a taste of local seafood, Araxi Restaurant & Oyster Bar on North Village Stroll is renowned for its fresh oysters and farm-to-table dishes. Beyond skiing, Whistler's art scene offers a cultural counterpoint. The Audain Art Museum, located on Blackcomb Way, houses a collection of British Columbia art, including works by Emily Carr and indigenous masks. This modern architectural space provides insight into the region's artistic heritage. For those seeking adventure, the Whistler Mountain Bike Park is a summer highlight. Famous for its extensive trail system, it caters to all levels of riders. The park transforms the winter ski resort into a summer playground, offering a different perspective of the mountain terrain.
