Dine: a fondue feast for two

Sip, dip, repeat! Indulge in the best fondue Whistler has to offer at The Chalet. There’s nothing like a bubbling fondue for two to keep things playful and romantic. Try cheese, Chinoise, chocolate—whichever your hearts desire! Pair with an exceptional wine from BC wineries like Roche Wines or Blasted Church. Reservations are recommended—we suggest you book well in advance.
