Whitehorse - Capital of the Yukon Territory
Over one hundred years ago, reckless adventurers fought their way down the Yukon
River by boat on their voyage to the goldfields. Many struggled through the choppy
waters of the White Horse Rapids. Exciting times! Fearless men and women traversed
great distances to arrive at their goal- the Klondike.
Today it’s much easier to come to us. But we’re sure you'll
still have the same spirit of adventure in your heart.
Welcome to Whitehorse, capital of the Yukon, and home to some of the most
spectacular scenery in Canada. Whitehorse nestles on the banks of the
famous Yukon River surrounded by mountains and clear mountain lakes. With
a spectacular mountain backdrop, Whitehorse is a city rich in culture and history, comfortably
accommodating groups of up to 800 people. Groups heading to
the Yukon can still expect all the big-city amenities, coupled with truly spectacular
scenery and of course those famous Northern Lights!
Adventure based activities such as whitewater rafting, sea kayaking or heli-hiking
will excite thrill seekers and provide a unique twist to any meeting. The winter
season offers its own unique mix of activities sure to put a warm charge into
any meeting. Optional activities such as snowmobiling, dog mushing, and igloo
building provide the ultimate Yukon winter experience.
