 Pemberton
The Village of Pemberton is located on the Sea to Sky Highway #99, about a 20 minute drive north of Whistler (32 km/20 miles) and 120 km southwest of Lillooet. Nestled between majestic mountains, Pemberton is set in a river valley surrounded by coastal mountains. Its natural setting and close proximity to the resort village of Whistler (120 km, 74 miles from Vancouver) makes it a perfect location for year round outdoor adventure.
Amid the rugged splendour of the Coast Mountains north, the Pemberton Valley is a lush green stretch of agricultural land, long know for its potato production. The pastoral setting is a sharp contrast to the surrounding mountain peaks.
Pemberton Valley Lodge is a new all-suite hotel located in Pemberton. The lodge offers a free lodge to lift shuttle for easy mountain access. The hotel sits nestled at the base of the majestic 8,000 foot Mount Currie off Highway 99 providing stunning views, charming lodging accommodations and easy access to the sights and sounds of Whistler, one of the premier resort villages in the world. What makes Whistler Resort so special is two unbelievable mountains - Whistler and Blackcomb. Side by side, they represent over 8,000 acres of terrain to ski and snowboard, rising a mile above the valley of Whistler. Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains offer unforgettable skiing and snowboarding winter, spring and summer. The Village of Whistler is famous for its unique shopping, dining, nightlife and the arts.
Whistler Resort, host venue for the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, is consistently ranked among the best four-season and ski resorts in North America with good reason! Pemberton Valley Lodge’s location, a 20 minute drive from Whistler, makes for a great place to stay while vacationing in Whistler.
