Girlfriend getaway
If you’re looking for a girlfriend getaway that is out of the ordinary, then hop aboard the Whistler Mountaineer train. According to statistics in the US, women took 32 million trips last year and 75 percent of these trips were all about culture and adventure. The Whistler Mountaineer offers adventure and escape packages that are suitable for all ages and activity levels, in a safe and fun environment. No longer the realm of rugged outdoorsmen, women are finding a new love for getting outdoors to pursue a variety of adventure experiences. Whistler Mountaineer guests can ride an ATV, soar through the air on a zipline, or bungee jump over a glacial gorge. Soft nature activities can also be enjoyed, such as bird watching and trail walking.

The ultimate thrill adventure 
Linking the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver and the rugged alpine village of Whistler, the Whistler Mountaineer provides guests with adrenaline pumping experiences. The three-hour train trip takes guests through the stunning Sea to Sky region with views of cascading waterfalls, old-growth forests, snow-capped mountain peaks and brilliant Pacific waters. Once in Whistler, guests can ride an ATV, soar through the air on a zipline and bungee jump over a glacier gorge. For those looking to double their adrenaline rush, choose the new Ultimate Thrill Adventure package.

Family reunion
Are we there yet? These are four words you are not likely to hear when travelling with your family on the Whistler Mountaineer. People today relish the idea of going on a trip without the distractions of traffic, limited vehicle space and the necessity of bringing electronics along to keep the children occupied. The Whistler Mountaineer offers an opportunity to travel with the family in comfort, with meals served at your seat and the ability to move around at leisure. Onboard Attendants add to the experience by attending to guests’ every need while providing fascinating commentary on the region. The views from the open windows in the Heritage Observation Car are an excellent replacement for computer games and DVD’s. Once you have the family in Whistler, the opportunities for fun activities are boundless.

Once in a blue moon
Just like a blue moon, a honeymoon or a babymoon are rare occasions. Couples are usually clamouring for some quality time together and the Whistler Mountaineer train offers a unique way to truly connect. Newlyweds and parents-to-be can let someone else do the driving while enjoying big roomy seats, exceptional onboard service and of course a romantic setting, only found on the rails. Once in Whistler, couples enjoy the clean crisp mountain air, great food and activities to suit everyone’s taste.
