Ready for the adventure?

Although the ratings are quite fair, many participants find themselves surprised beyond what they had imagined. And for…
Donjek Glacier Trek

A GREAT YUKON WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE WITH A GRIZZLY BEAR!

On the road to Carcross
Since the beginning of the winter we had the occasion to drive along the Klondike Highway to Carcross several times. Every time we were lucky enough to enjoy beautiful lights and landscapes !

The toughest trek in Kluane National Park and Reserve is by far the Donjek Route. It involves more than 7 days of hiking off the beaten trails, up rocky passes and down steep scree slopes, across large river, across hummocky tundra… in bear country. It is a great challenge for any experienced trekker and the…

For the first time in decades, the almost exclusively alaskan Fortymile caribou herd migrated through the Tombstone Territorial Park this Fall.
