Getting Here & Around:
Destination: Yukon!

Travelling to Canada's Yukon has never been easier, whether you come by air, road or sea. Flights to Yukon are easily arranged directly to Whitehorse from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and from Canada's Northwest Territories, Alaska, or Frankfurt in Germany. Whitehorse is just a little more than a two-hour flight from Edmonton, Vancouver and Calgary, with same day connections from most North American cities. If you prefer a road trip, you can drive the Alaska Highway or Stewart-Cassiar Highway from British Columbia. Or you can come by ferry or cruise ship from Alaska and British Columbia.
