Although it's a place more associated with sports, Whistler is actually a pretty romantic destination. Its surroundings are pretty stunning, the views are breathtaking, and you can even score an intimate
luxury home where you and your love can spend time warming up to each other by the fire. Sounds like an ideal honeymoon, doesn't it? Beyond skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports that Whistler is known for, there are a lot of romantic spots you can visit here too. Especially the Peak to Peak Gondola, the Brandywine Falls Provincial Park, the Longhorn Saloon & Grill, the FireRock Lounge, and the Scandinave Spa. Why are these spots romantic, you ask? Well, here's why!
Peak to Peak Gondola
While some only consider the Peak to Peak Gondolas as
public transport, especially if they're on their way up to ski, many have seen this ride's potential as a romantic spot in Whistler. While they're far from the
gondolas in Venice, you can't deny that riding one when you're all alone with your significant other can get you in the mood. Even more so when you're sitting beside each other, hand-in-hand. Add to that the scenic mountains everywhere and you've got yourself quite the lovestruck moment, don't you? It'll be a particularly memorable part of your trip!
