Situated on the northern tip of Great Slave Lake in Canada’s North, Yellowknife is an ideal destination for an unforgettable winter retreat.

Discover the city’s unique charm during the day and, at night, head out to witness the spectacular Northern Lights dance across the sky. Toast with locals at the Woodyard Brewhouse, enjoy arctic char sashimi at a cozy sushi spot, and take a ride along one of the famous ice roads of the Northwest Territories. A highlight of your visit will undoubtedly be the nightly Aurora viewing tours, led by Indigenous guides, offering an authentic and awe-inspiring experience.
