Northern Lights Resort & SPA
Nothing but pine forests and mountains
to interrupt the view of Aurora Borealis
The charming Northern Lights Resort & SPA occupies 160 private acres just 20 minutes south of Whitehorse, with nothing but pine forests and mountains to interrupt the view of Aurora Borealis, nature’s finest light show. Constructed out of Douglas Fir logs, the lodge invites guests to make themselves at home, with a large outdoor Jacuzzi, Finnish sauna, infrared cabin, gym and massage room.
Accommodation is offered in four individual timber chalets – each unique in decor and layout – which are a warm, comfortable base for winter explorations of Yukon’s wilderness. All feature premium bedlinens, large ensuite bathrooms and cosy fireplaces. There are also 3 glass-fronted ‘adults only’ chalets, purposefully built with aurora viewing in mind. A queen sized bed sits right in front of the large floor-to-ceiling wrap-around windows.
Things to do at Northern Lights Resort & SPA include a wide range of wellness treatments, as well as guided Aurora Borealis viewing from an authentic, heated tipi or from the lodge’s large deck. Should you wish to explore the great, white landscapes by day, the lodge offers dogsledding, snowshoeing, ice fishing and snowmobiling. Return to the main restaurant for hearty, healthy, home-style meals and a selection of premium beverages.

Canada Overview
Why visit Canada? Spanning the top of north America from the Pacific to the Atlantic, this huge country offers majestic scenery, unspoiled wilderness and incredible wildlife and adventure opportunities. At the same time Canada is a modern country with sophisticated cities, world class accommodation and excellent rail, road and air network.
When is the best time to visit Canada? From May to September is the best time for cruising and touring in Canada when the weather is at its finest. Temperatures and daylight hours vary depending on latitude, and the coast is more moderate than inland regions which have long hot summers and very cold winters.
Grizzly bear viewing is generally good from June until October and Polar Bear viewing around Churchill is possible from July to November. November to April is the time for winter wonderland experiences, skiing, dog sledding and the Northern Lights.
What can I combine Canada with? Alaskan holidays like Inside Passage cruising and wildlife viewing. Canada can also be combined with Arctic cruising and ice based adventures.
How do you get to Canada? Fly to Vancouver in British Columbia for west coast touring and cruising, or to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal or Quebec City for eastern Canada.
