Yukon Winter Dream
5 Days | 4 Nights
The Yukon in winter is a land of shimmering silence, where frozen forests and snow-capped peaks stretch endlessly beneath star-studded skies. Here, nature’s most ethereal spectacle—the Aurora Borealis—paints the heavens in vivid waves of green and violet. In this enchanted setting, adventure and tranquillity intertwine: dogsleds glide over sparkling trails, steam rises from natural hot springs, and the thrill of snowmobiling gives way to quiet nights warmed by northern hospitality.
This curated five-day journey reveals the essence of Canada’s far north, offering moments of exhilaration, reflection, and pure wonder.
Wilderness City Welcome – Whitehorse
Your journey begins in Whitehorse, affectionately known as the “Wilderness City.” Nestled against dramatic mountains and endless forests, it is the perfect gateway to the Yukon. After a warm welcome at the airport, settle into your centrally located hotel and take time to explore at leisure—wander the historic streets, browse local galleries, or simply soak in the crisp northern air.
A Skybound Perspective & Northern Lights
Soar above the vast winter landscape on an unforgettable sightseeing flight, where the frozen rivers, endless spruce forests, and jagged mountain peaks reveal the scale and splendour of this remote land. Back on the ground, a guided tour introduces Whitehorse’s fascinating history, from the SS Klondike paddle wheeler to its log-built “skyscraper.”
Later, discover the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, home to elk, moose, mountain goats, caribou, and lynx. As twilight falls, unwind in the mineral-rich pools of Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs, where steam drifts skyward against a backdrop of snowy mountains. By night, the heavens come alive—the Aurora Borealis dancing across the sky in a dazzling display of colour.
Husky Trails & Gold Rush Tales
Few experiences capture the spirit of the north like dog sledding. Meet your eager team of huskies and set off along frozen trails, their energy carrying you across a winter wonderland. Later, gather in a prospector’s cabin to hear stories of mushers and races that shaped Yukon history. That evening, step once more beneath the celestial theatre of the Northern Lights, each appearance more mesmerizing than the last.
Snowmobiling Through Alpine Silence
Venture deeper into the wilderness on a snowmobiling adventure, carving your way across snowy peaks and winding forest paths. The stillness of the landscape, broken only by the hum of your machine, gives way to panoramic views of untouched mountains and valleys—an exhilarating reminder of nature’s immensity.
Farewell to the North
On your final morning, enjoy a quiet stroll through Whitehorse or browse for artisanal keepsakes before your transfer to the airport. The memories of the Yukon—glittering snowscapes, steaming hot springs, huskies at full stride, and skies ablaze with colour—remain long after you leave.
