Three ways to experience winter in Yukon
Canada's Yukon Territory offers the quintessential winter postcard, complete with snow-draped forests, sled dogs and the shimmering, mystical aurora borealis. Read on for three unforgettable ways to explore Yukon during winter.
- Learn how to mush your own team of sled dogs in true 'Call of the Wild' style. At Sky High Wilderness Ranch, just 30 minutes from Whitehorse, you will be assigned your own team of friendly huskies, learn how to manage them, and set off on an exhilarating day-long excursion or week-long camping expedition that will take you back to the early days of transportation by sled dog.
- Prepare for a life-changing moment as you witness the enchanting aurora borealis (northern lights) shimmer and dance in colourful ribbons across the night sky. Yukon's pitch-black winter sky offers the perfect backdrop for the world's most spectacular light show, with Tour operators throughout Yukon offering unique ways to experience this awe-inspiring phenomenon. For a closer look, soar within the aurora oval for eye-level viewing of the lights on a private chartered flight with the ground-breaking Aurora |360 tour, the only experience of its kind in North America.
- Snuggle up in a cosy wilderness lodge set in a snow-drenched forest. Check into the luxurious Inn on the Lake, the Boreale Ranch at the base of the Seven Sisters mountain range, or Southern Lakes Resort overlooking placid Tagish Lake. Meander along the hiking trails on a guided stroll to a secluded spot to capture the very best aurora photographs. Fill your days with snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and watch for wildlife, such as mountain goats and foxes, roaming freely.
About Yukon
Situated in the upper northwest corner of Canada, next to Alaska, Yukon Territory is Canada's most accessible northern destination. Home to Canada's highest mountain (Mount Logan) and one of the largest non-polar icefields located in Kluane National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site – the breathtaking territory is a picturesque winter wonderland.
Yukon is one of North America's most undiscovered destinations; close to 80 percent remains pristine wilderness with 5,000-metre peaks, forested valleys, unspoiled waters and untamed wildlife. Roughly the size of Spain at just over 300,000 square miles, the Yukon is home to more than 160,000 caribou, 70,000 moose, 22,000 mountain sheep, 7,000 grizzly bears, 10,000 black bears and 250 species of birds, with a human population of only 40,000.
