FROM JUNE 27 TO JULY 4, SOMETHING SPECIAL HAPPENS IN THE MOUNTAINS

At Fairmont Chateau Whistler, we mark the official start of summer with a week of celebration, exploration, and connection—designed especially for families looking to make unforgettable memories. With Canada Day and Independence Day as festive bookends, and every day in between filled with guided adventures, creative camps, and mountain-sized fun, our Summer Kickoff Event is one of the most magical times to visit.

Whether you’re here for the paddleboarding and pickleball or the lakeside picnics and outdoor concerts, one thing’s for sure: this is summer, Whistler style.

Why Visit During Summer Kickoff Week?

This isn’t just a week of events—it’s a curated celebration of everything we love about summer, designed with families in mind. Here’s what makes it so special:

• Endless daily adventures, included with your stay
  From lakeside bike rides to guided forest walks, every day brings a new way to explore together.
• Something for every energy level
  Yoga at sunrise, sound baths in the afternoon, and pickleball matches in between—move as much (or as little) as you like.
• Celebrate two holidays in one unforgettable stay
  From Canada Day lake dips and lawn parties to July 4th treats and toasts, it’s a week of non-stop joy.
• Dedicated kids’ programming
  Creative crafts, adventure camps, and family-friendly competitions mean your little explorers are always entertained.

Guest Tip: Visit Basecamp (just across from Portobello) as soon as you arrive. It’s your launchpad for the week—packed with trail maps, activity guides, and local tips. Many events fill quickly, so pre-register early to make the most of your stay.
