Is Whistler Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Whistler

Super friendly and family orientated ski village. The main areas provide lots of public transport access. Smaller outer suburbs are still walkable distance with designated trails. Nightlife is not super late but as most accomodation revolves around the village there is always people about and bright lighting making walking at night or alone very comfortable

Group travel

My trip to whistler was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation with stunning mountain views and existing skiing. A peaceful hike through the forest was the highlight connecting me deeply with the nature

Family travel

The very first time I went to Whistler, I didn't get why travellers would come all the way here just to go shopping (as Whistler Village was full of outdoor gear shops). Then last year my extended family took a trip up the gondola to the top of the mountains and I understood why people love Whistler! The views were incredible! In the summer you could ride the ski lifts up to get even higher views and hike around the tops of the mountains. It feels like you are on top of the world. My relatives from our of town wanted to go to Whistler from Vancouver for just the day, and at first my immediate family thought they were crazy to go all that way for just one day, but surprisingly it worked out and we had enough time. Here is a break down of the costs: There is actually a shuttle bus that goes from downtown Vancouver to Whistler. It costs $40 roundtrip. The seats were very comfortable and there was air conditioning, and this is a good option if you don't want to rent a car. The views on the sea to sky highway were beautiful! The bus stopped in Squamish very briefly so we could use the bathroom at a gas station. I think you have to book this ahead on the Internet. Then it drove on to Whistler Village. Whistler Village is extremely walkable so you don't a car there if you are just going up the gondola because you can easily walk to the gondola place. The gondola ride was expensive: it was $100 Canadian dollars per person! If you are traveling with your whole family this might add up a lot, but if you are here once in your life I think it is worth the splurge because I went up the Gondola near Squamish and the views in Whistler was so much more majestic. I also have some recommendations on affordable -ish (in comparison to the rest of Whistler Village) places to eat in Whistler Village, but I can't remember the names right now so I will write it in the comments
