VC09 - Wander Lust

If you’re looking for a rustic retreat or a luxury escape, there are plenty of otherworldly experiences just outside the Vancouver city limits.

Follow the links below for information on two outstanding areas to visit while in Vancouver.

Day-Trips from Vancouver:

Whistler, British Columbia »»
Whistler boasts some of the word’s best bowl skiing and snowboard pipes (which convert into killer mountain-bike trails in summer). But in the run-up to 2010, the village is showing a more nuanced, diversified character and now offers plenty of off-slope activity.

Victoria, British Columbia »»
Once a bastion of Old World Britishness anchored by the venerable Empress Hotel, Victoria has evolved into a hip metropolis with design-forward shops, chic boutique hotels, and savvy restaurants.
