Why Your 2026 Reset Belongs in the Yukon
Let’s be honest: the “relaxing” beach vacation is a bit of a myth. The early morning scramble for a lounge chair, the humidity that makes your hair go rogue, the pressure to have the “best time ever” just because of the ocean view.
You might come home tanned, but are you any more rested? Or just slightly more dehydrated than before?
In 2026, maybe it’s time to trade your swimsuit for a parka. Here’s why the North is the retreat you didn’t know you needed.
Connect with nature in a way that feels timeless and grounding with Dogsledding Adventures
Ever wanted to glide across crisp snow with a pack of enthusiastic huskies leading the way? (They’re having the time of their lives, by the way.) Dogsledding in Yukon is unforgettable—the landscape opens, the dogs do most of the running, and you find a stretch of quiet so pure you’ll wonder why you ever stood in line for a margarita at a busy resort. No crowds here; just you, the sled, and one heck of a northern winter.
If the idea of adventure with a side of pure Yukon magic speaks to you, this is your sign. Imagine swapping busy city blocks for snowy trails under wide northern skies.
Feel the thrill of exploring vast, untouched landscapes while Snowmobiling
Snowmobiling here isn’t just about speed (though it’s a blast). You’ll cross frozen lakes, zip through wide-open silence, and forget what it felt like to sit in city traffic.
Craving that wind-in-your-face, no-rules kind of freedom? Snowmobiling in the Yukon serves up wild adventure you simply can’t find on a city street.
See the Yukon From Above With Scenic Flights and Helicopter Tours
Buckling into a small plane or helicopter, you’re lifted skyward as the Yukon unfurls for miles in every direction. From this vantage point, wilderness feels endless; ribbons of rivers, wild forests, and whole mountain ranges rolling out beneath you. Every glacier and winding trail tells a bigger story from up here, making you realize just how grand and untamed this place truly is.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to see the world through an eagle’s eyes, here’s your chance. There’s nothing quite like witnessing the Yukon roll out beneath you—big, beautiful, and wild as ever.
Relax and Rejuvenate With a Soak at Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs
After a day outside, duck into the Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs. There, gravity seems to vanish as you settle into mineral-rich pools and let the steam work its magic. Fun fact: alternating cold and warmth helps soothe muscles and, according to some studies, can help regulate the nervous system. (Plus, you won’t soon forget the sight of steam rising while snowflakes land on your nose.)
When the cold creeps in and your cheeks start to tingle, there’s nothing quite like slipping into soothing, steamy water under Yukon’s open sky.
You look up at the northern lights and stay awhile
There’s quiet, and then there’s Yukon-under-the-northern-lights quiet. Green and violet arcs ripple across a huge sky. This isn’t just another night out—it’s a memory powerful enough to silence even the chattiest traveller. A resort techno light show could never come close!
Standing out in the snow, you’ll forget about phone screens and dinner reservations—the show overhead is the only thing that matter
