A relaxing winter vacation in the Yukon

From Vancouver, fly to Whitehorse, the capital city of Canada’s Yukon territory, and enjoy four nights at the rural Northern Lights Resort and Spa. Each night, watch as the colours of the aurora light up the sky, above snow-covered trees, and mountain peaks. Warm up in the sauna, go dogsledding, see the highlights of the city, and more.
