HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES

Christmas in the mountains can mean many things: a horse drawn sleigh ride through the snow; a day of exhilarating skiing on the slopes of North America's leading ski resort; or simply sitting by a crackling fire sipping a warm beverage to the sound of Christmas carols. Whatever memories the Yuletide season evokes, you can relive them at The Fairmont Chateau Whistler.
