Itinerary
The Complete Blue Mountain Beginner Experience
Start your trip by carving your first turns on the slopes, guided by expert instructors who make learning to ski both fun and confidence-boosting. When you’re ready to take a break from the snow, the charming Blue Mountain Village awaits, brimming with boutique shops, cozy cafés, and lively après-ski spots. Every detail of your stay is designed to delight!
Set Up For Success
Location is often key when planning a getaway. Village Suites or the Westin Trillium House are located close to the shops and restaurants in Blue Mountain Village and each have seasonal swimming pools. If extra space is important, a Resort Home is a great vacation option when you want a little extra space and comfort! Blue Mountain offers a total of 12 different hotel and Resort Home options so you’re sure to find something to suit everyone’s needs.
Get your Tickets in Advance
Booking tickets for skiing and Mountain Attractions in advance is always recommended to ensure a seamless experience! Whether it's your first day on the slopes, or your hundredth day catching first tracks, there are lots of ways to secure your spot on the slopes with 5x7 Passes, Double Down Ticket Deals, or Single Day Lift Tickets. Check out the Resort's Deals and Packages page below!
Starting the Day
A great morning start is made easy with breakfast from the Pottery Restaurant delivered to your room or sit down for a hearty breakfast from the classic Sunset Grill. If you’re looking to celebrate the winter season in style, treat the team to an upscale brunch at Oliver & Bonacini in the Westin.
For the friend who needs coffee (now!), we’ve got you covered. With Tim Horton’s now open and Starbucks’ new walk-thru window, it’s never been easier to get your caffeine fix! Fuel up fancy with a specialty signature latte from Royal Majesty Espresso Bar & Cafe or Greekery Cafe.
Learn to Ski & Snowboard
When you learn to ski or snowboard at Blue Mountain, you’re not just learning something new, you’re unlocking an entire season of fun. It’s the start of crisp mornings, chairlift laughs, and that unbeatable feeling of being a part of the mountain.
Blue has two beginner learning areas designed just for new riders. Located at the South Base Lodge and in the Village, these zones feature gentle terrain, easy-loading lifts, and wide-open spaces that let you focus on building confidence one step at a time.
Après the Blue Way!
The tradition of après ski is as old as skiing itself. A highly social pastime, skiing brought together like-minded people who loved winter and outdoor sport. These same people also celebrated in sharing their on-hill adventures with their fellow skiers over a pint in a chalet or lodge. After your introduction to the hill head over to the Village to experience Après the Blue way!
Experience the Magic
Explore the Village wrapped up in garlands and bows and illuminated with the sights and sounds of the season. Stroll the 1 km Light Trail and enjoy enchanting moments around every corner while you shop, dine and celebrate the magic of the season.
Play the maestro in a musical light show with interactive installations at the Dream Tree or Topsicles. Walk under the night sky with Lumino Tunnel of Light or watch the Singing Forest trees twinkle in-time with music playing in the Village Plaza. No matter where you are, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to take the perfect insta-worthy pic!
Refuel in the Village
The Village offers a host of tantalizing options when looking for something to satisfy your lunch or dinner cravings. Choose from a variety of cuisines from Greek to Asian Fusion, or go based on your vibe with options to fine-dine or belly-up to the bar.
Don’t want to wait for a table? Our Village Restaurants are prepared to accommodate larger groups with special Holiday Dining menus and Group Dining menus for guests reserved in advance. With an assortment of cuisines and dining-styles, you can find the perfect spot for even the pickiest of eaters.
Shopping Every Day!
Stroll the Village and shop every day! You'll discover a unique mix of locally-owned shops and brand name stores, including art and home décor, toys, beauty products, and Canadian-made activewear. Look for those one-of-a-kind finds at 20 unique shops and boutiques. Stores are open late, 7 days a week for leisurely shopping.
Canadian Staples
If it’s your first time in the Village you must experience some of the iconic Canadian shops and eateries. Indulge in a sweet and decadent pastry from Beaver Tails, or a cheesy, mouth watering poutine from Mile High. Try your hand at Axed Throwing...think Canadian Darts! Roots Canada and Tim Hortons are new to the Village in the past couple years, further enhancing the Canadian experience at Blue.
Village Nightlife
After spending the day skiing or snowboarding and exploring the Village, cozy up and relax in the ambience of one of our Village bars or cocktail lounge. Enjoy signature recipes from Twist Kitchen & Cocktail Bar or belly up to the bar at MJ Byrnes for a classic Irish pub vibe. If you're looking to continue the night and dance you may find DJ's and late night parties at Rusty's or Kaytoo.
