The Olympic Rings
The Olympic Rings, which can be found at Olympic Plaza at the north end of the Village Stroll, have become synonymous with Whistler.

There’s even a stone plinth there to help you get the perfect shot! Gather your friends together, snap a pic, and watch those likes roll in!

The Ice Rink
Right beside the Olympic Rings is our next stop on our Instagram tour of Whistler. The ice rink at Olympic Plaza is for kids and adults of all ages. Show off with a graceful pirouette, or be proud of the fact that you can actually stand up straight, for a few seconds at least! Make sure you come by at night-time and watch the ice be beautifully lit up. The perfect Instagram post!

Making your way over to Blackcomb Way you’ll come across some fantastic public First Nations art by Susan Point. Susan is a Coast Salish artist from Musqueam, a First Nation in Vancouver. Her piece ‘A Timeless Circle’ is a bronze sculpture that reflects the community’s experience of the Olympic Games. A perfect Instagram post to express your creative side.

Audain Art Museum
Crossing Blackcomb Way you’ll discover the Audain Art Museum. Opened in March 2016, the museum hosts a vast amount of First Nation’s art, with a lot of it coming from the Audain’s family private collection. While the art inside is incredible, the building itself is worthy of its own Instagram post. The angular, modern building, clad in metal and wood is a sight to behold.

Dubh Linn Gate
After a long afternoon of snapping Instagram pics around Whistler, you’ll be in need of some refreshments. Order a cottage pie and a pint of Guinness and nab a seat around the firepit on the Dubh Linn Gate patio. The patio is right at the base of Whistler mountain and the fire makes an ideal backdrop for that perfect Instagram post of your pint of Guinness.

Fitzsimmons Creek Bridge
This covered, wooden bridge crosses over the ice-blue glacier water of Fitzsimmons Creek and will bring you back to Whistler Village from Upper Village. When night-time comes, the bridge is lit up with vibrant coloured lights. The contrast between the light and dark makes this bridge one of Whistler’s most Instragramable places.
