Yukon Winter Adventure Trip: The Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival
Upon arrival at the airport in Whitehorse, you will be warmly welcomed and taken to the resort. Enjoy the scenic drive, which will already take you through the impressive nature of the Yukon. Once you arrive at the resort, you will check into your comfortable accommodation and have the opportunity to relax and explore the beautiful surroundings. In the evening, you can look forward to a delicious 3-course meal prepared with fresh, regional ingredients. End the day with a warm drink by the fireplace and enjoy the peace and quiet of the winter landscape.
Day 2: Husky tour through the wilderness of the Yukon
After a hearty breakfast, you will set off on an unforgettable day full of adventure. Your approximately four-hour husky tour will be led by renowned musher Michelle Phillips, her partner Ed Hopkins, or one of your guides. Both have extensive experience in sled dog racing and have participated in the world's largest sled dog races. Listen to their stories, get to know the professionally trained huskies, and learn how they are bred and trained. After a briefing, you will climb onto the sleds yourself and ride through the majestic landscape around Tagish Lake. If four hours is too long for you, please let us know before making your final booking – the tour can be shortened to two hours. In the evening, after an exciting day, you will return to the resort, where another delicious 3-course dinner awaits you.

Important information about dog sledding tours:
Guests without experience either sit in the guide's sled or stand on their own sled, which is pulled behind the guide's sled. Guests who have already taken a tour with Michelle Phillips or her guides, or who can demonstrate experience with dog sledding, may lead their own dog team in good conditions. Driving your own team without experience can be very dangerous. Therefore, the final decision regarding the safety of the dogs and participants always rests with the guide.
Additional Information:
The order of tours and activities within this itinerary may vary due to weather conditions and other contributing factors that must be taken into account by the guides when planning your tour. You will receive the exact order of activities once you arrive on site. The far north can have fluctuating and unpredictable weather with very strong temperature differences. The safety of guests and animals comes first, and for this reason, we reserve the right to change the itinerary and intensity of activities if and when needed. This involves both adjustments due to insufficient snow (meaning we cannot drive the sleds) or too much snow (snowstorms and extreme cold can cause accidents and various other problems). The required adjustments and fallback options in rare cases are based on the day-to-day conditions and can be compensated by shorter or longer daily stages, alternative accommodations, or even single day trips. In extremely rare cases we may organise alternative transport (ie. cars, quad bikes, etc). Feel free to contact us if you would like a more detailed assessment of this tour and travel period.
Note: We recommend booking additional categories and guided activities directly with the tour package (several weeks or months before arrival), as these may be fully booked at the time of travel. Some activities are only available on certain dates and not for the entire season.
