Frequently Asked Questions

Discounts

What discount do you provide for longer stays? Please see our rates table. We provide a discount rate for a full week's stay. If you stay 2 weeks or longer, we can provide further discounts. Please inquire.
If I want to stay a month or longer, what kind of discount do you offer? Rates for month-long, or longer, stays will be determined at the time of inquiry. They will be at a discount to our posted rates.
What kind of lift ticket discounts do you offer? We have found the best way to purchase discounted lift tickets is through Allura Direct. We have one other lesser-known spot we can recommend to guests who book with us.
What kind of golf discounts do you offer? We have found the best way to obtain golf discounts is to reserve a twilight tee time. These times usually begin at 3:30 or 4:00. With the long northern summer days, there is plenty of daylight left. In July it will be light until 9:30 or 10pm! We do have one other contact available to guests who book with us.

They have 7 locations throughout Whistler and we can provide 10% discount on equipment rental and 15% discount on retail purchases at the time of rental.

Access to resort activities

What is the best way to get to the lifts from your home? There are multiple options for getting to the lifts. For guests with a car, we find the best option is parking on Blackcomb Mountain. From there, you can ski either mountain. Our welcome packet provides more details. Taxis arrive quickly and the ride is short to either mountain's base. The shuttle bus stop is just a few steps from our front door. If you rent your equipment in the village, you can store it there overnight. Without your equipment, the 10-minute walk to and from the lifts is quite pleasant.
How far are you from the village? Village North is a 5 minute walk from our home. The village at the base of Whistler Mountain is about a 10 minute walk. The village at the base of Blackcomb Mountain is about a 15 minute walk. Nestor's is about a 5 minute walk from our home.
How far are you from the valley trail? The Montebello complex is on the valley trail. So, the trail is just across the street from the front door. The trail connects all sorts of Whistler attractions from Lost Lake Park to Meadow Park to Nicklaus North to the villages. You name it, it is most likely on the valley trail. Biking to desintations in the summer is one great way to get around in Whistler!
How far are you from the cross country trails? The main ticket booth for the cross country trails is at Lost Lake Park. We are a 10 minute walk from the ticket booth. If they haven't cleared the valley trail yet, you might be able to cross-country ski there and back.
How far are you from mountain biking trails? Lost Lake affords many opportunities for mountain biking of the old-fashioned sort where you ride up first before you ride down. Lost Lake park is about a 3 minute ride from our home. For taking the lifts up and riding down, you'll want to go to the base of Whistler mountain, which is about a 3 minute ride. There is also a bike and skateboard park about a 3-5 minute ride on the valley trail.
How far are you from hiking trails? Hiking trails are everywhere in Whistler. The closest ones are in Lost Lake park and are about a 10 minute walk away. These are low-rise trails. Further afield, you will find hiking trails for all levels of difficulty. Some of these trailheads are easily reached by bike on the valley trail. Others would require a car or taxi ride. There are also groups which will take you on organized hikes and provide transportation. Of course, you can ride the gondola up Whistler mountain and hike up there too.

Car Rental Questions

Do I need to rent a car? You do not need a car when staying in Montebello. In summer, just about everything is accessible via bikes and the valley trail. In winter, taxis, buses and walking provide everything you need. If you want to go on an adventure further-afield, transportation is generally included in the package. If you'd rather not wait for transportation, renting a car is helpful.

 About Us

With children who are beginning skiiers, an expert skiier for a husband and myself only recently joining the ranks of intermediate skiiers, we have experienced the full range of ski slope challenges on both mountains, including ski schools. We have been vacationing in Whistler for 20 years. And so, we are more than happy to answer any and all questions you might have. Our children are not only learning to ski at Whistler, but also to bike, kayak, canoe and rock-climb. It is our year-round outdoor playground. We have found Whistler to be an ideal summer family reunion location. Last year, we gathered family from all over the country in Whistler. Everyone from the 2 year old to grandma and grandpa had a great time and found activities to suit their interests. We are excited to share all that Whistler has to offer and the wonderful spot we've found in Montebello. Enjoy!
