Romantic winter weekend in Whitehorse
A Place So Romantic, You’ll Forget the Cold
Put the “you” in Yukon—where romance isn’t just in the air, it’s in the snow, the stars, and somewhere in every shared glance. Here’s how to make the most of a few days together.

Lace up for a twirl at Shipyards Park, the heart of Whitehorse winter. Every wobbly step on the ice is a chance to laugh, and every playful tumble is just another excuse to pull each other closer. Who needs a dance floor when you’ve got a frozen one?

Chase the aurora borealis, where the night sky puts on a show that’s as exclusive as your love story. In cozy domes or open-sky viewing spots, or with local guides leading you to the best secret spots, every streak of green feels like a cosmic wink. And let’s be honest—there’s no better backdrop for a kiss than the northern lights.

After a day in the snow, 'spring' into relaxation at Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs. The combination of steamy pools and frosty air is instant relaxation. Side-by-side warmth, quiet conversation, and a little misty romance—what’s not to love? Bonus points if you can resist the urge to Instagram it.

Take a stroll through the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, where snow-dusted trails and wide-open skies set the stage for a peaceful wander. Spotting a moose or elk is great, but let’s be real—half the fun is making up ridiculous “I spy” clues along the way.

Whitehorse’s food scene is like the Yukon itself—warm, welcoming, and full of surprises. Whether you’re sharing a flaky pastry in a café or toasting with a locally brewed beer over a hearty dinner, every bite feels like a celebration of the moment. Pro tip: order dessert. Always order dessert.

Kick off your adventure with a dogsled ride that’s equal parts thrilling and adorable (seriously, those dogs are pros). Then strap on snowshoes and wander through the boreal forest, where the only sound is the crunch of snow and your shared laughter. End the day fireside, before stepping out to watch the northern lights—because nothing says romance like “aurora-mance.”
