Location & Ski Access
Chalet La Forja is perched high on Whistler Mountain in Kadenwood, a private mountainside community above Creekside. In winter, guests can access Whistler Mountain directly from the neighbourhood or take the private Kadenwood Gondola down to Creekside in approximately five minutes. It is a rare combination of estate-level privacy and convenient access to skiing, dining, groceries and the rest of Whistler.
Sitting almost 1,000 feet above the valley floor, Kadenwood is one of Whistler's most exclusive ski-in/ski-out neighbourhoods. Set high above Creekside on Whistler Mountain, it offers incredible privacy, old-growth forest, beautiful mountain views and access to the private Kadenwood Gondola for residents and guests.
The private gondola connects Kadenwood directly with Creekside Village in approximately five minutes. Creekside can also be reached by a short drive or, during ski season, directly from the mountain.
For skiers, Creekside is an excellent place to start the day. While many visitors naturally begin from the main Whistler Village base, Creekside provides direct access to Whistler Mountain without needing to travel into the Village each morning. The upgraded 10-person Creekside Gondola increased out-of-base capacity by approximately 35%, while the upgraded Big Red Express increased uphill capacity by approximately 30%, helping improve mountain access and wait times.
Creekside Village has everything needed close to home, including Creekside Market for groceries and some of Whistler's favourite restaurants and cafes, including Red Door Bistro, Rimrock Café, Creekbread, Dusty's, BReD and Rockit Coffee.
Whistler Village is approximately a 10-minute drive away, giving guests easy access to the main Village while enjoying the privacy and peaceful mountain setting of Kadenwood.
Guests can reach Creekside and Whistler Village via the private gondola, taxi, ride app, private driver, or vehicle rentals. Transportation is not necessary to ski, since the property is located right on Whistler Mountain.
