Yukon

Whitehorse is the capital of Yukon, located in the southern part of the territory along the Yukon River. Surrounded by mountains, it is known for its spectacular scenery, northern lights, and long, sun-filled summer days. Visitors enjoy its rich Gold Rush heritage, fascinating museums, and pristine nature perfect for hiking, canoeing, and wildlife viewing.

This charming village—bustling in summer thanks to cruise ships—transports you back to the Gold Rush era along its seven-block historic Broadway corridor. Wooden boardwalks, restored buildings, and local shops create a unique frontier atmosphere. Located on the traditional territory of the Tlingit people, Shgag̱wéi means “rough waters,” referring to the waves created by strong winds. The Gold Rush Cemetery set in the lush coastal rainforest adds a mystical touch.

A small town in southeast Alaska, Haines is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife—especially bald eagles—and brown bears fishing for salmon in the Chilkoot River. Deeply rooted in Tlingit culture, it is closely connected to the village of Klukwan, the ancestral home of the Chilkat people.

Kluane National Park protects a spectacular landscape in southwestern Yukon and includes 17 of Canada’s 20 highest peaks. Expect dramatic mountain ranges, massive glacial cirques including one of the world’s largest non-polar icefields, boreal forests, shimmering lakes, and a rich cultural heritage tied to the Southern Tutchone.

Kluane is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering numerous hiking trails with breathtaking views, as well as canoeing on Kathleen Lake. Wildlife sightings are common—especially Dall sheep. It’s also possible to take a scenic flight over the mountains and approach Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak at 5,959 m.

Arriving via the Alaska–Canada Highway, Tok is the first town you encounter, home to around 1,400 residents. It originated in the 1940s as a construction camp for the Alaska Road Commission during WWII. The landscapes leading here are stunning, with mountain vistas and wide-open plains.

After driving along the legendary Top of the World Highway, Dawson City appears like a page from the Gold Rush era. Step into the saloon of the Downtown Hotel, catch a cancan show, explore Jack London’s historic log cabin, try your hand at gold panning, or head up Midnight Dome to witness the midnight sun. This magical northern town lies on the traditional territory of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in.

This remote mountain range in northern Yukon is famous for its jagged peaks and pristine wilderness. Tombstone Territorial Park protects boreal forests, alpine and arctic tundra, and the cultural heritage of the region’s First Nations.

With its dramatic summits, glacial valleys, and colourful tundra—especially spectacular in autumn—Tombstone offers a complete immersion into the wild beauty of the Yukon.
