Wilderness tour at Yukons Lake Laberge: The itinerary

Day 1: Arrival
Today, you will travel to Whitehorse and have the opportunity to prepare for the coming days. Stay at the Best Western Gold Rush Inn and, if you wish, join an optional programme to get your first glimpse of the Northern Lights.

Day 2: The adventure begins
In the morning you will be picked up by your hosts in Whitehorse and travel together to Lake Laberge. Here, the charming huskies will be eagerly waiting for you. After a safety briefing and instructions, you will take a dog sled across the frozen lake to the wilderness huts. After a delicious lunch, you will learn more about the technique of dog sledding, so that you and your dogs can form the perfect team and explore together. Dinner is served in relaxed surroundings. The overnight stay takes place in a cosy rustic hut.

Day 3: Into the wilderness
After a hearty breakfast, you can try out the techniques that you learned the day before and get a feel for the fascinating dog sledding experience. Lunch is served outdoors. In the evening, round off the day with a unique experience over a delicious dinner before retiring to the lodge for the night.

Days 4 & 5: Lakes and Mountains Husky Expedition
After a delicious breakfast, enjoy the feeling of freedom on the skids of your dog sled! Quickly you will get to know the individual personalities of your Huskies and build a strong bond. For lunch, share your highlights so far over a picnic or campfire. After about five to six hours on the dog sled, rest up and enjoy a dinner that will provide you with energy for the next day.

Days 6 & 7: Dog sledding through a winter wonderland
Today it's time to speed things up a bit! After an energising breakfast, set out on the challenging trails that lead across frozen lakes, through dense forests, and over snowy hills. Race through this winter wonderland before stopping for some rest and relaxation. Enjoy a rest day and relax with a hot drink and a book by the woodstove. In the evening, warm up in the wilderness hut — this offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside and the magical night sky. With a bit of luck, the legendary Northern Lights will dance above you; even without this natural phenomenon making an appearance, the view of the clear starry sky is still impressive and will remain in your memory for a long time!

Day 8: Farewell to your team
After breakfast, take a dog sled across the lake to the road where you will bid farewell to your faithful companions. From here you will be taken back to Whitehorse by car. You will spend the last night in a hotel before you start your journey home.

Day 9: Departure
Today you will start your onward journey. You will leave with many unique experiences under your belt and plenty of incredible stories to tell! Return home feeling well-rested and with new energy, ready to take on new challenges and seize the day!
