Whistler, B.C. – Take date night up a notch in Whistler this Valentine’s Day. From after dark adventures to indulgent and relaxing moments, Whistler offers endless ideas to mix and match together an unforgettable date night or romantic getaway in the mountains.

While skiing and snowboarding Whistler Blackcomb’s iconic slopes offer the ultimate daytime activity, the real magic begins after dark with an array of unique activities that add the perfect dose of adventure. Pair Whistler’s wild backcountry with a cozy mountaintop fondue feast or savory steak dinner in a remote cabin on an evening snowmobile tour. Star gaze and soar high above old-growth forests on an après ziplining tour. Experience the magic of an illuminated hike through an enchanted forest at Vallea Lumina; a visual storytelling night-walk.

Down in the Whistler Village, keep things a bit more relaxed with a snowy stroll through the Village paired with an indulgent dining experience or cultural discovery. Dive deep into the impressive art collection and get creative together with an Art After Dark hands-on experience at the Audain Art Museum, or uncover the culture and traditions of local First Nations through interactive exhibitions at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre. After engaging with Whistler’s vibrant art and cultural scene, delicious delights await at any of Whistler’s award-wining restaurants. From fine-dining and cool cocktail bars to intimate lounges and cozy pubs, the perfect date night atmosphere is easily found in Whistler.

While adventure seeking together adds a spicy twist, don’t forget to pair all the wild explorations with a bit of relaxation and restoration. The Scandinave Spa ticks all the boxes when it comes to relaxing featuring soothing outdoor baths, refreshing steam rooms and rejuvenating saunas; creating either the perfect end or beginning to a romantic escape in the mountains.
