The Northern Lights Viewing Holiday
The Northern Lights – or Aurora Borealis to give them their correct name – are one of the most spectacular, natural sights in the world and there is no better place to see them than in the Yukon in Canada. Northern Lights Resort plays host to this amazing light show, caused by solar flares and eruptions of gas on our sun, from January to early April. Combine this with a few days taking in the winter atmosphere at the splendid Fairmont Banff Springs in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, where snowshoeing, ice skating, ice climbing and other exciting winter activities are on offer, and you will have the perfect winter holiday in Canada.
This itinerary is flexible and can be tailor-made to suit you; if you want to add extra days in one area, extend the holiday or maybe change the direction of travel. Talk to one of our experts about how to make this holiday the perfect one for you

More About This Expert“Just a 10 minute scenic drive from Whitehorse, the Northern Light Resort is an amazing experience. Upon arrival, your cozy Aurora Glass Chalet welcomes you and provides panoramic views of the rugged landscape. There is high aurora visibility here so the chances of seeing the Northern lights are good, especially between January and mid April.”
