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.

Personalize this itinerary

Here are some of our most popular enhancements to personalize this journey.

Visit Dawson City

If travelling between January and March, extend your time in the Yukon with our 3-night Dawson City add-on. Discover the area's Klondike Gold Rush history, learn cultural crafting practices, explore the rugged Tombstone Territorial Park, and of course, see the Northern Lights.

Spend time in Vancouver

Vancouver's mild climate, large outdoor spaces and diverse neighbourhoods attract visitors year-round. Add on a couple of extra nights here, so you have time to explore the city.

Choose your starting city

If you'd prefer to visit a different city before heading to the Yukon, you could start your trip in Calgary or Edmonton. The Canadian Rockies are accessible from both cities, too.
