Where is Apres Ski Filmed?

Apres Ski series was set and filmed in the famous Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. It includes the snow-filled gleaming mountains of Whistler and Blackcomb. In many capacities, it is the largest ski resort in North America. This place receives plenty of reviews that consider it among the world’s best resorts. No wonder it is a highly regarded destination for many skiers and tourists from around the globe.

Although most ski resorts are usually small towns or villages near the ski area in Europe, it is quite different in North America. As you will see through the location of the ‘Apres Ski’ show here, the resorts are technically far away from towns and are built practically into ski towns. It is a destination on its own with every imaginable amenities and facility made available for the clients. 

The Whistler town is the busiest ski resort with 2 million visitors annually. It has hosted as the site for the filming of the show for its first season with eight episodes altogether. With the bountiful and extraordinarily beautiful backdrop of the British Columbia Mountains, the scenes are incredibly picturesque. And there is so much more to Whistler, which you can discover in this blog.  

What is Apres Ski?

Alrighty! Sorry to have you wait throughout the introduction to explain what an ‘Apres Ski’ means. Well, the word ‘après’ literally means ‘after’ in French- so yeah, it’s the activities and socializing that you would do ‘after skiing.’ This tradition of Apres Ski originated in the mid-1800s on the slopes of the fantastic French Alps. Quite fascinating!

Well, but this writing is precisely not going to be about the skiing traditions per se. This ‘Apres Ski’ here is all going to be about a season that revolves around the ambitions and passion of seven hospitality professionals who embark on a start-up venture of hosting and providing luxury concierge services to its Richie Rich clienteles.
