Overview

Begin your Yukon winter journey with an overnight stay in Whitehorse, providing time to settle in before an evening excursion to Aurora Village. Travel beyond the city lights to experience the magic of the Northern Lights from heated viewing areas, offering comfort as you watch the aurora dance across the night sky.

Following your Whitehorse stay, continue south to the tranquil wilderness of Southern Lakes Resort, beautifully set on a quiet arm of Tagish Lake and surrounded by boreal forest. Enjoy three nights in private, cosy log cabins that showcase the serenity of Yukon’s winter backcountry. Traditional in style with modern comforts, each spacious cabin offers a warm and welcoming retreat with stunning lake and forest views.

Step directly from your cabin into a winter wonderland, with a range of optional activities available to enhance your stay. Choose from snowmobiling across frozen lakes, traditional dogsledding through snow-covered forest trails, or gentle snowshoeing at your own pace. With experienced local guides on hand, exploring the pristine landscapes of the Southern Lakes region is both accessible and unforgettable before returning to the comfort and tranquillity of the lodge.

Fresh from an extensive renovation, this historic landmark now features 33 modern guestrooms, each designed with comfort in mind and enhanced with thoughtful touches such as complimentary turn-down service. Its enviable location on the Yukon River waterfront, right in the heart of downtown Whitehorse, places guests at the centre of the city’s charm and character.

Southern Lakes Resort

Whitehorse
The Southern Lakes Resort is the ideal place to unwind a few days to start or conclude your journey through the North. This lakeside restaurant offers homemade lake burgers as it is for juicy, perfectly grilled steaks or specialty dishes from our Chef with Swiss roots. Traditional log cabins with a modern touch – you’ll feel right at home in our spacious cabins. Not to mention the view – ah, the view! Every morning, you discover something new, a different light, the sun shining through the clouds, mist rising from the lake, or a squirrel running across your balcony.

We found that many customers may prefer to:

  • Travel on a specific airline of their choice
  • Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
  • Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
  • Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas. If you are travelling on a passport other than Australian or New Zealand, you will require a permit to re-enter Australia.
