Chalet
Forest: Amenities
Chalet Forest is located above the
new Four Seasons hotel and above the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Hotel
on the Blackcomb Mountain Benchlands. To access the Upper Village or
the Ski lifts you walk across Spearhead Drive and either put on your
skis and ski down the trail – less than 2 minutes or walk down the
paved trail depending upon the time of the year. The Main Village is a
5-minute walk from the Upper Village or a 5-minute bus ride on the
free Village Shuttle bus. The bus stop is located on Spearhead Drive near the entrance
to Forest Trails.
For your convenience at Chalet
Forest we provide keyless entry coded for each guests' arrival. And
for your comfort there are 2 TV’s with 2
VCR’s with a selection of videos, CD player with 10 CD’s, a small book
library, hairdryers in each bathroom, and a propane BBQ on the deck.
There are several eateries in the
Upper Village. La Rua Restaurante is a first class, local’s favorite
eating establishment. For a more casual experience try Chef Bernard’s
– amazing food if you can get a seat or the Double Diamond Grill or
Monk’s restaurant or Merlin’s at the base of the mountain for a
cafeteria or the best après bar in town. And of course the Fairmont Chateau and
the Four Seasons have a few surprisingly good eateries and the
Mallard
Bar at the Chateau has great après entertainment. The Upper Village
has several shops for ski wear, ski/board/bike rental, upscale and
casual clothing, Photoshop, small grocery store, cold beer and wine
store.
The Chateau Golf Course, a
Robert Trent Jones design is also a five minute walk. Open from May
until mid October this exceptional course will challenge anyone. The
Whistler Golf Course – Arthur Palmer design and the Nicklaus North
Golf Course – Jack Nicklaus designed – are 2 other very good golf
courses in Whistler.
Chalet Forest is located on the
Valley Trail system. The trails are great for walking, biking,
hiking and roller-blading in the summer or the trails are track set
for cross-country or skating skiing in the winter.
Lost Lake, the perfect swimming
lake is a 10-minute walk away or a 5 minute bike ride. Or you can
continue along the trails and arrive in the Village or walk around the
Whistler Golf Course (open winter or summer for walking) and then onto
Alta Lake or Green Lake, the place to be for fishing or water-skiing
or wakeboarding is a 5-minute walk.
Meadow Park Sports Centre is
located within a 10 minute bus ride or 30 minute bike ride. The Sports
Centre has a swimming pool with great kid's section, skating rink,
gym, squash courts and aerobics, step and spin classes.
.Whistler Village has a huge
range of activities to choose from. From bike rentals and tours, ATV
tours, rafting, canoe and kayak trips, climbing walls, trapeze,
trampolines, zip-trekking, bungee jumping, hiking or walking, enjoying
some of the great street entertainment in the summer to snowmobiling,
dog sledding, heli-skiing, sleigh rides in the winter. Of course a
trip to the top of the mountains via the Gondola or chairlift is a
‘must do’ event in the summer or in the winter regardless if you are a
skier. The views are spectacular and the Alpine restaurants are worth
the trip.
