SPONSORED REPORT Created by the Canada Wide Media advertising department in partnership with Tourism Whistler Wellness in Whistler—Your Ultimate Early Summer Retreat Y ou know you need it: time to embrace the moments of pause and sink into nature's serenity. Whistler's mountain environment, with gorgeous, 360° views and tucked away from the stresses of city life, is the perfect environment to disconnect and reconnect with wellness—and June is the best month to take advantage of all Whistler has to offer, including some special events. Transformational experiences Whistler is home to several spas and wellness facilities, offering hydrotherapy, massage, aesthetics treatments and a complete range of body work. Stretch out after a day of exploring with yoga or learn some new dance moves at one of Whistler's well-equipped studios, gyms and fitness facilities. The temperate rainforest creates the ultimate backdrop for forest bathing, the art of basking in the lush sensory wonders of the forest. Download the Go Whistler Tours app and explore Lost Lake, Emerald Forest or Riverside/Farside Trail. Active relaxation The legendary Whistler Bike Park, award-winning golf courses, breathtaking glacier-fed lakes, lush forests and waterfalls are all linked by a network of paved trails, so you can discover Whistler at your own pace.
