It’s a different world up here.

As an avid traveler, the Yukon in winter is my ultimate luxury escape. It's a place where authentic Canadian experiences come to life against the backdrop of snow-covered landscapes and the Northern Lights. From dog sledding through pristine wilderness to soaking in outdoor hot springs, the Yukon offers an exceptional winter adventure. The cozy, luxurious lodges provide a perfect mix of comfort and rugged charm, making every moment unforgettable. If you’re looking for a unique and thrilling vacation, the Yukon's winter wonderland is where your classic Canadian winter dreams come true. I can't recommend the Yukon enough!

The Yukon is unlike any other place we have visited on Earth. We have explored many incredible mountainous regions of the world, from Iceland and Nepal to Patagonia, but the Yukon continues to draw us back. 

Over the past decade, we have had the privilege of living, working and visiting the Yukon multiple times and its vastness and wildness continues to take our breath away. Kluane National Park, with its immense glacier valleys, is one of the most magical places we have seen where kilometers of ice stretch out as far as the eye can see. 

Aside from the remote wilderness, Whitehorse offers delightful culinary experiences, while Dawson City takes you back in time with its gold rush charm and character. Not to mention it’s the entrance way to Tombstone Territorial Park. There's truly no other place like it!

On a clear night, any modern phone camera will be able to capture the aurora. For best results, a tripod and a camera with adjustable exposure settings are recommended. 

The best time to enjoy the show is from mid-August to mid-April, between 10pm and 3am each night. Aim for a clear, cloud-free night.  

We recommend an aurora viewing excursion with a trusted local guide. They know the best spots, and will ensure you have a safe & comfortable experience.
