Is it just us, or is there something truly special about the fall? The air gets that perfect crispness, the sweaters come out, and everything just seems to slow down. It’s our favourite season here in Whistler, a time when the mountains are showing off their colours and the urge to just get cozy is real.
If you’ve been dreaming of a fall getaway where you can properly unplug, we’ve put together a little idea of what a five-day stay at Wedge Mountain Lodge could look like. Think of it as the perfect mix of outdoor fun, local exploring, and serious relaxation.
Day 1: Settle In & Slow Down
Afternoon: Arrive and Get Your Bearings The moment you pull up to the lodge, you can start to unwind. We’ll be there to greet you, grab your bags, and get you settled in. Your suite will be ready for you—maybe the fire will already be going. The first thing we suggest? Grabbing a drink, stepping out onto your balcony, and just taking a deep breath of that fresh mountain air. You’re officially on vacation time.
Late Afternoon: Shake Off the Travel Dust There’s no better way to ease into your stay than by letting go of any travel stress. Head down to our spa for a bit. You don’t need anything fancy; maybe a relaxing massage to work out the kinks or some quiet time in the sauna. It’s all about shifting gears.
Evening: A Great Meal and Good Company You don’t have to worry about a thing for dinner. Our chef will have a delicious, fall-inspired meal ready for you. Think comforting, gourmet food that tastes even better after a day in the mountains. After dinner, the night is yours. We love to grab a blanket and check out the stars – they’re incredible out here. Or, simply find a comfy spot by the fire.
Day 2: The Great Outdoors & Easy Evenings
Morning: A Dose of Fresh Air After a fresh cup of coffee, it’s a great time to get outside. The trails are beautiful and quiet this time of year. We can point you toward an easy walk through the woods to see some giant, old-growth cedars, or if you’re feeling more ambitious, there are some incredible hikes that lead to amazing viewpoints. We can even pack you a fantastic lunch to take with you.
Afternoon: Time to Chill What you do this afternoon is completely up to you. For some, it’s the perfect time to curl up with a book you’ve been meaning to read. For others, it’s a chance for a friendly game of pool in the games room. The point is, there’s no pressure to do anything. Just enjoy.
Evening: A Taste of Whistler Tonight is a great chance for our chef to get creative with some of the amazing local ingredients we have in British Columbia. It’s another evening of fantastic food, great conversation, and just enjoying the simple pleasure of having nowhere else to be.
Day 3: Lodge Life & A Trip to the Village
Morning: Fun Right Here at Home You don’t even have to leave the property to have a great morning. Why not start the day with a session in our fully-equipped gym or get a little competitive with a game on our indoor pickleball and multi-sport court? If the weather isn’t cooperating, you can even practice your swing in our golf simulator. It’s all right here for you.
Afternoon: Explore Whistler Village The village is much quieter in the fall, making it the perfect time for a relaxed stroll. We can arrange a car to take you into town to browse the unique boutiques or soak in some culture at the Audain Art Museum. It’s a nice way to see the town and pick up a souvenir or two.
Evening: Casual Pizza Night Let’s do something fun for dinner. How about a gourmet pizza night? Our chef can fire up the pizza oven and you can create your own masterpiece with a variety of fresh, local toppings. It’s relaxed, interactive, and absolutely delicious, especially when paired with a local craft beer.
Day 4: Mindful Moments & Deep Relaxation
Morning: A Different Point of View Want to see the fall colours from a new perspective? We love to arrange for a private yoga or meditation instructor to come to the lodge for a session right on our expansive deck. Imagine starting your day with gentle movement and deep breaths of crisp mountain air, all while looking out at the incredible valley view. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the stunning nature around you and offers a “different point of view” that’s more about being present than being on the move.
Afternoon: Ultimate Unwind After a morning of mindful movement, a relaxing afternoon is in order. This is your chance to fully indulge in the lodge’s amenities. Take a long soak in the outdoor hot tub with a view of the mountains, swim a few laps in the pool, or book that deep-tissue massage you were thinking about.
Evening: A Farewell Feast For your last night, let our chef pull out all the stops with a special multi-course farewell dinner. It’s a celebration of your trip and a final opportunity to savour an incredible, handcrafted meal in the comfort of your private mountain sanctuary.
Day 5: A Slow Morning & See You Next Time
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, and have one last coffee while soaking in the mountain views. We’ll be on hand to help with your bags when you’re ready to head home, feeling refreshed and completely recharged!
This is just a little taste of what your fall escape could look like, but you don’t have to plan a thing. If this blend of outdoor beauty and cozy, restorative wellness sounds like exactly what you need, we’ve wrapped it all up for you.
