Itinéraire
Le Grand Nord offre les meilleures activités hivernales du Canada : motoneige, raquettes, pêche blanche, observation de la faune et de la flore, sources thermales, vols touristiques et observation des aurores boréales. Au cours de ce programme hivernal amusant, vous dînerez comme un pêcheur, suivrez les traces d'un chasseur et explorerez comme un habitant.
Au cours d'un vol touristique spectaculaire au-dessus des environs de Whitehorse, vous aurez l'occasion de voir les paysages grandioses du Grand Nord. Nous vous emmènerons découvrir la riche histoire du Yukon au cours d'une visite de la ville, observer de près la faune locale au Yukon Wildlife Preseve et vous détendre dans les eaux chaudes apaisantes des sources thermales locales. Sentez l'excitation de conduire une motoneige dans l'arrière-pays jusqu'à des points de vue magnifiques. Vous vous rendrez sur un magnifique lac d'hiver pour découvrir la tranquillité de la pêche sur glace. Si vous avez la chance d'attraper un beau poisson, votre guide le filetera et le cuisinera sur le feu. Partez sur les traces de votre guide lors d'une randonnée en raquettes et d'une balade en trottinette parmi les paysages les plus impressionnants. Lors des trois soirées de votre choix, vous vous rendrez juste à l'extérieur du centre-ville, mais suffisamment loin des lumières de la ville, dans un lieu idyllique d'observation des aurores boréales, l'AuroraCentre. Les soirées seront consacrées à l'observation relaxante des aurores boréales à côté d'un poêle à bois confortable ou d'un feu de camp ronflant. Les vacances d'hiver sont vraiment complètes si vous avez la chance d'observer les aurores boréales qui tombent en cascade dans le ciel nocturne.
Programme du circuit
ARRIVÉE À L'AÉROPORT DE WHITEHORSE
Point de départ
Whitehorse International Airport (YXY), 91633 Alaska Hwy, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 6E6, Canada
11:00 - 20:30
FAUNE, SOURCES D'EAU CHAUDE, VUE À VOL D'OISEAU ET AURORES BORÉALES
Nous commençons la journée par un vol touristique de 30 minutes au-dessus des spectaculaires paysages hivernaux. Pendant le vol, nous pourrons admirer l'hiver yukonnais sous un angle que peu de gens pourront admirer. De retour à Whitehorse, nous découvrirons l'histoire du Nord lors d'une visite guidée de la ville. Whitehorse a beaucoup à offrir et abrite des sites célèbres comme l'historique Paddlewheeler SS Klondike ou un "gratte-ciel" entièrement fait de rondins. Plus tard, nous nous rendrons au Yukon Wildlife Preserve, où nous pourrons observer de près des animaux sauvages comme l'élan, l'orignal, le caribou, la chèvre de montagne et le lynx dans leur environnement naturel. Non loin de là, nous visiterons les Eclipse Nordic Hotsprings et nous nous plongerons dans les eaux chaudes naturelles et nous nous détendrons dans un décor de montagne hivernal à couper le souffle. Après un dîner décontracté à Whitehorse, vous reprendrez la route, cette fois pour admirer les magnifiques aurores boréales. Détendez-vous à l'abri ou sous le ciel étoilé, près d'un feu chaleureux, dans l'un de nos sites d'observation des aurores boréales conçus sur mesure. Hébergement : Hôtel à Whitehorse
SUR DES PISTES RAPIDES DANS LA NEIGE
On the afternoon, we drive into the mountains closeby Whitehorse. After a detailed safety introduction we step on our snowmobiles. With enjoyable speed we’ll pass through the memorable winter scenery of the Yukon and soak up the view of snow covered mountains. With a snowmobile, the journey can be an exhilarating ride up and down magnificent mountains or a relaxing tour through the forest and down historic trails. Tonight is another chance to see the Aurora Borealis as we set out to the AuroraCentre. Accommodation: Hotel in Whitehorse
PÊCHE SUR GLACE ET RAQUETTES
Au Yukon, vous trouverez certaines des meilleures pêches au Canada pour le touladi, le grand brochet, l'ombre arctique, la truite arc-en-ciel et l'omble chevalier. Rejoignez-nous pour une aventure de pêche sur glace et de raquettes sur l'un des magnifiques lacs de la région de Whitehorse. La raquette est l'un des meilleurs moyens de profiter de la tranquillité de la nature sauvage du Yukon et de photographier les magnifiques paysages du Yukon. En fonction des conditions, notre guide choisira le lac idéal pour votre expérience de pêche sur glace. Après un court trajet en voiture, nous laissons notre véhicule garé au bord du lac et parcourons les environs en raquettes jusqu'à notre premier point de départ. À l'aide d'une jauge à glace, nous percerons un trou dans la glace. La glace d'un lac peut avoir une épaisseur de 30 cm à 1 m ! Des boissons chaudes et des en-cas seront disponibles pour nous réchauffer. Jetez un coup d'œil et profitez de la beauté d'une journée d'hiver en attendant la grosse prise !
Si nous avons la chance d'attraper une belle truite, votre guide la découpera en filets et la fera cuire sur le feu. À la fin de la journée, nous retournons à Whitehorse avec une prise record et d'excellents souvenirs.

KICKSLEDDING
On this kicksledding tour we will guide you through interesting wilderness routes in the most beautiful scenery in Yukon’s Winterwonderland. You will learn the basics of kicksledding and travel slight elevations on forest trails and on frozen lakes. The Kicksled’s snow and ice rails allow you to ride over snow drifts, across frozen lakes and even fresh powder snow. To manuever the Kicksled, you simply kick the ground between the rails like a scooter while riding on the foot plates on top of the metal rails behind the seat.
A kicksled is a human-powered equivalent of a husky sledge, for anyone who likes to set their own paste.
This night would be another great night to see the beautiful Aurora Borealis.
