A cold breath of Yukon air meets the warm glow of a heated dome as you step from the shuttle into a wide northern sky. Snow hushes the world; overhead the aurora teases in curtains of green and violet that flex and pulse like an unseen tide. The evening moves between quiet, guided snowshoeing through groomed trails and the intimate comfort of a semi-private glass-roofed dome where hot chocolate steams and charcuterie waits.

A cold breath of Yukon air meets the warm glow of a heated dome as you step from the shuttle into a wide northern sky. Snow hushes the world; overhead the aurora teases in curtains of green and violet that flex and pulse like an unseen tide. The evening moves between quiet, guided snowshoeing through groomed trails and the intimate comfort of a semi-private glass-roofed dome where hot chocolate steams and charcuterie waits.
This loop between Whitehorse and nearby Carcross sits on the edge of glacially carved lakes and gold-rush era routes. The region’s geology—fjorded valleys and glacially scoured bedrock—helps produce stable, clear nights that favor aurora viewing. Culturally, the area is part of traditional Southern Tutchone and Tagish territory; local guides often share stories of travel by dog team and seasonal harvesting that shaped life here.
Practically, the experience is structured: hotel pickup in Whitehorse, a guided snowshoe portion suitable for most fitness levels, a museum visit with large taxidermy displays, then a 52-minute scenic drive to the dome site for aurora watching. Expect roughly six hours door-to-door, warm dome seating, a gourmet charcuterie and chilli dinner, and an optional 15-minute dog-sled add-on ($75 CAD + GST onsite).
Bring warmth, a camera with a tripod or a steady surface for long exposures, and an appetite for simple, high-latitude comforts. The itinerary emphasizes comfort and accessibility without sacrificing the wild, star-filled spectacle above. All sales are final—plan accordingly and keep flexible expectations for aurora visibility.

This corridor between Whitehorse and Carcross saw seasonal travel routes used for centuries by Southern Tutchone and Tagish peoples and later by gold-rush prospectors and supply teams.
Respect dark-sky practices by minimizing flashlight use and following guide instructions; staying on designated trails reduces winter damage to fragile tundra and riparian zones.
