The HI-Whistler hostel provides the perfect winter or summer retreat for guests looking to get away from the bustling city life. Located on picturesque Alta Lake, this rustic lodge is at nature’s back door and is only a 10-minute drive from Whistler Village and Whistler/Blackcomb – consistently one of the top five ski resorts in North America, with over 8,000 acres of accessible terrain on two mountains and runs open into June. In addition to skiing, the Whistler area is a great spot for hiking, mountain biking and whitewater rafting.

After a day on the slopes, warm up in the hostel’s sauna or relax in the large living room by the fireplace. Check out the bustling nightlife in the Village or go ice-skating when the lake is frozen in the winter with free ice skate rentals. In the summertime, take advantage of the great mountain biking, hiking and river rafting in the area. The hostel also offers free canoes for guests and a private swimming area.
