Fairmont Hotels & Resorts around the world are offering guests unique, one-of-a-kind experiences and bespoke adventures through its Make Special Happen campaign. Each experience is designed to create moments of connection, escape, indulgence and awe — leaving guests with memories that last forever.
At the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, discover secluded alpine sanctuaries by private seaplane or journey by helicopter to the tip of a glacier for a cocktail-making class and alpine picnic.
If learning to make a cocktail atop a glacier — a spot only a handful of people have stood — isn’t thrilling enough, the helicopter ride takes guests sightseeing over ancient ice formations and pointed glaciers. The master mixologist may even dazzle with a magic trick or two before guests sit down to enjoy an alpine picnic using seasonal ingredients, aimed to pair perfectly with the drinks.
It’s mountaintop champagne and caviar, with a private helicopter as your chariot — extravagance at its finest.
This unique experience is running through October and can be booked online or directly through the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. For more Fairmont experiences happening around the world, visit the Make Special Happen landing page.
