Whistler Olympic Village

The Olympic and Paralympic Village Whistler is located within the scenic Cheakamus Valley and less than 20 minutes from all Whistler competition venues. A short shuttle ride will take athletes to the heart of Whistler’s town centre and the Whistler Celebration Plaza. The Village site is bordered by the Cheakamus River and forested lands and is accessed by a two-lane road and single-lane bridge from Highway 99 — the main route between Vancouver and Whistler — less than one kilometre away. The mixture of apartments, townhomes and hostel accommodation was designed to qualify as a Gold Level certification under the new LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Neighbourhood Development rating system.
