La découverte du sud du Yukon en compagnie d'Amélie et de Juliette s'est avérée être une expérience incroyable, empreinte de bonne humeur, de générosité et de convivialité.

I did the Coastal Mountains Trek and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life. This trek takes you into some of the most gorgeous nature you can find on this planet. On top of that - Terre Boreale is an incredible company. Our guide (Amelie) was amazing and they thought of every detail. The food was delicious (hot zucchini and feta pasta after a long day hike… what is better!!) and we are already looking forward to our next trip. If you are considering a trek in the Yukon, I can’t recommend Terre Boreale enough.

Nous avons vécu une expérience incroyable sur la Yukon River, 13 jours de descente en canoë entre Whitehorse et Dawson City, seuls dans la nature accompagnés de nos deux guides Juliette et Amélie. Le groupe s'est incroyablement bien entendu, les moments difficiles sont passés tous seuls. L'organisation, l'intendance, tout a fonctionné à merveille, toujours avec respect pour l'environnement. Nos deux guides n'ont jamais varié d'humeur, toujours partantes quelques soient les conditions climatiques, s'adaptant constamment. La préparation avec Miléna n'a posé aucun problème, bien au contraire, toujours de bon conseil. Les paysages grandioses infinis du Yukon et la météo ont été au rendez-vous ainsi que les animaux : ours, rapaces, loutres, castors, chèvres sauvages, etc. Je rajouterai une mention spéciale pour la visite de Fort Selkirk. Enfin la cuisine a été incroyable : 14 jours sans ravitaillement mais en ne mangeant que du frais cuit au feu de bois. Il y aura vraiment un avant et un après Yukon !

Kluane et le Donjek en 2023, Kluane, Tombstone et Dawson en 2025. Deux expériences extraordinaires avec Terre Boréale. Organisation, soutien, professionnalisme, encadrement, le tout en respectant la nature intacte et sauvage des lieux visités et du Yukon en général. Je recommande cette entreprise pour le Yukon.

We hiked to Donjek Trail this summer and had an amazing experience with Terre Boréale. A challenging and demanding trek, offering amazing views of the rugged Yukon landscape and nature. Our guides Amelie and Chloe were extremely knowledgeable and experienced, making this the unique adventure we had hoped for.

Donjek 2025

Unbelievable experience hiking to the Donjek and back. As a more novice backpacker, I truly appreciated the expertise and professionalism of the two guides. Both women were prepared, knowledgeable, and just all around fantastic human beings. This was an extreme trip (as the website clearly states) and I felt safe and confident in the abilities and decisions of the guides. Whether it was crossing paths with a grizzly or a steep mountain pass, both guides led the group with their expertise and passion for the Yukon backcountry. Every detail was planned with care and compassion. I truly appreciated Terre Borale’s commitment to the environment. The “leave no trace” principle was strictly adhered to throughout the trip. All around amazing experience.

Donjek Glacier

As an experienced hiker it was very interesting to see new kind of hiking techniques and methods. But all good. The route and itinerary was obviously planned with knowledge and experience. There was always plan B as you never know what nature and off trail hiking throws at you. Have to admit that it was physically tough as "Extreme" should be but extremely rewarding and immemorial. We were lucky with the weather as it plays enormous factor in outdoor activity. Guides were simply super women! Speechless after the effort they did. We had nice group and a trip to remember for the rest of our lives!

We hiked the Kluane Colors Tour guided by Edouard and we absolutely loved everything about it! What Terre Boreale offers is not to be compared with any other Tour agency at least from my experience. For both the owners and the employees you can tell that they live their values, they love what they do and they are so happy to pass it on to their customers. In our case we were a small group of three plus our guide Edouard. Ed was super knowledgeable, skilled and fun - so very easy to trust him in all decisions around the trek. We felt in very good hands all along and we had lots of fun together as a team! The trek itself is just stunning! We enjoyed breathtaking views and untouched landscapes. All of the logistics around it were also perfectly done - shout out to Milena for the super friendly communication ahead of the trip and the delicious food which is homemade by her! All in all this trip surpassed our expectations (which were already high) by far! We will have to come back at some point…

We saw all the animals i wanted and hiked to our heart's content. great tour, great food, love the focus on minimizing every impact. fantastic company can't wait to go on a canoe trip.

Me and 5 mates had a wonderful 12 day canoe trip that was beyond my expectations in every respect. Our guides Marc and Ed are highly skilled in the art guiding but the food they prepared was the standout - we ate like kings! Kudos to them and the Terre Boreale team for everything that went into delivering a great experience. The 5 stars is barely enough!!

My husband and I spent a week in July backpacking the Kluane Colours route off trail in Kluane National Park. We had a great group and got lucky with the weather which always helps. The scenery surpassed all expectations and I'd put it in the world-class category. I figured off trail would require a lot of "bushwacking" but other than an hour or two of nasty alders one day, the route traversed open country. What a treat to experience a place where few people have trod.

My friend and I did the Along the Dempster hiking/van trip with Terre Boréale this summer and had an INCREDIBLE experience. Our guides Amélie and Édouard were so knowledgeable, fun, and supportive. The meals were amazing, and Terre Boreale was very considerate in making a menu that avoided my food allergies. The hikes were chosen based on the interest and ability of our group and they were a very rewarding experience with stunning views. We enjoyed the camaraderie of getting to know the other people in our group, and we appreciated getting to see so much of the Yukon in a short period of time. The correspondence with Miléna ahead of time was excellent and informative. We highly recommend Terre Boréale!!

Sometimes you return from a trip astounded that you found a tour company that checks off all the boxes! Terre Boreale is the only choice you should make if exploring the Yukon River by canoe. A perfect 10 out of 10! Terre Boreale performed well in several areas of the trip that I took, as a solo guest joining five others to paddle 256 km. down the Yukon River this August. What an unforgettable, fulfilling experience!! Even our canoes were superior quality! The guides assigned to our group delivered canoeing expertise, well chosen options with our safety paramount, and prudent care for the environment. Both guides were up at dawn before any guest, getting the prepping done to provide outstanding French cuisine morning, noon and night. We feasted by the campfire mesmerized by the beauty, the silence, and the inexplicable draw of the Yukon. Nothing could have been added to make the trip any better. Travellers might consider the extra cost of renting tent/sleeping bag which as I did to reduce baggage getting to Whitehorse. My only wish is that solo travellers did not also have the onerous supplement - half would be fair enough. But...One must absolutely set aside a few dollars to purchase their new cookbook both as a souvenir of the trip but also to savour memories of Eduoard and Marc cooking some aromatic dish such as coq au vin, mushroom risotto, vegetable penne, bison burgers, or bananas flambe. Just as important were the home made cookies, granola, and Nanaimo bars secreted away in the "Magic Box" for midday snacks. For administrative processes, Milena is a gracious and patient hostess/co-owner and greeter. You must see the Yukon. You will see it best with Terre Boreale.

We were a party of six guys from Australia aged 64-70 and could not have had a better time. Every part of the trip was professionally handled, the food was amazing to the point that we thought there was some sort of magic at work. All the gear was great and the 2 guides Marc and Ed were simply brilliant. Do yourself a favour and use this company. No hint of a white bread sandwich for lunch. Every single bit of food was either made by the company or from scratch on the trip. Amazing.

Ce qui m’a particulièrement plu lors de ce voyage est difficile à isoler, car c’est vraiment l’appréciation globale qui domine. Ce fut une addition de plusieurs éléments qui ont rendu cette expérience exceptionnelle. La qualité des personnes présentes, tant les guides que les autres participants, a énormément contribué à cette ambiance positive. Ensuite, l’effet grandiose des paysages du Yukon, combiné à la diversité de ceux-ci, a été un véritable émerveillement. Chaque journée nous offrait la découverte de nouveaux panoramas, et cette variété au sein même d'une seule journée était fascinante. Le voyage a également été marqué par un sentiment de dépassement de soi. Vivre différentes conditions de terrain et affronter divers moments d’adversité dans une seule journée a renforcé ce sentiment. Cette combinaison d’efforts physiques et de récompenses visuelles a rendu l’expérience particulièrement enrichissante et mémorable. J'ai adoré ! Merci Terre Boréale pour l'orchestration de ce voyage que je juge d'impeccable ! PSST. Et j'ai même souligner mon 40e anniversaire au pied du Glacier Donjek !

An Unforgettable Adventure in Yukon with Terre Boreale I recently embarked on a journey to Yukon, Canada, and I must say, it was nothing short of spectacular! One highlight of my trip that truly stood out was the incredible hiking experience provided by Terre Boreale. From the moment we set foot on the trail, the guides demonstrated an unparalleled passion for the wilderness, enriching our adventure with their expertise and enthusiasm. The breathtaking landscapes of Yukon came alive through their narratives, adding an extra layer of appreciation to the natural beauty surrounding us. The attention to detail exhibited by Terre Boreale was remarkable. Every aspect of the trip, from the carefully planned routes to the delicious meals, exceeded my expectations by far. It's rare to find a company that goes above and beyond to make every moment memorable, but Terre Boreale did just that. What truly made this experience priceless was the warmth and hospitality extended not only to me but also to my son. The guides made sure that our needs were not only met but anticipated, creating an atmosphere of comfort and security throughout the journey. I find myself at a loss for words to express my gratitude adequately. This trip has left an indelible mark on my heart, and I genuinely can't thank Terre Boreale enough for the extraordinary adventure they provided. Rest assured, I am already planning to repeat this remarkable experience with them, and I eagerly look forward to the next chapter of exploration and discovery in the great outdoors. Sooner than later, we'll be back for another unforgettable journey with Terre Boreale!

Could not have had a better experience hiking in the Yukon. Our guides, Max and Édouard, were phenomenal. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the area and clearly passionate about what they do. They were able to plan itineraries that worked for everyone in the group, even though different people had different expectations/priorities. The food is all fresh and well prepared. Everything is a well oiled machine. One trip will leave you wanting many more.

My trek with Terre Boréale on the Donjek Route was spectacular. Through nine days our guides Max and John provided expert navigation and key insight into the local fauna and flora, making for an exceptional experience. Another highlight of this experience is the convenience of having your logistics taken care of. They book you a hotel the day before the trek and the day after. This hotel will provide you a free shuttle to and from the airport. Terre Boréale also provides you with a ride to the trailhead as well as all the food you will need for your trek. They are also a Certified B Corporation so you know they are taking every measure to minimize their environmental footprint.

(kurzes Fazit: siehe Unten) Wir stellten unsere Anfrage bei Terre Boréale eine Woche vor Beginn der Tour und erhielten trotzdem schnell eine Antwort. Anstelle der angefragten Tour, welche nicht mehr möglich war, schlug uns Melina eine andere Tour vor. Die Across the Ogilvie Mountains. Als wir Schwierigkeiten mit der Überweisung hatten, waren Max und Melina immer gut erreichbar und geduldig mit uns. Max gab uns hilfreiche Tips, mit denen die Überweisung letztendlich klappte. Die Überprüfung unserer Ausrüstung zahlte sich im Nachhinein aus. Auf den Rat von Max und unserem Guide Dan kauften wir uns vor der Tour noch eine bessere Isomatte. An den letzten beiden Tagen der Tour, als es regnerisch und uns kalt war, waren wir froh über diese Anschaffung. Die Tour an sich war wunderschön! Wir flogen mit einem Wasserflugzeug zu unserem Startpunkt und wanderten von dort zurück zum Demster Highway. Auf unserer Wanderung kreuzten wir Schnee- und Geröllfelder, dichtes Gebüsch und aussichtsreiche Gratwege. Mit unserem Guide Dan hatte wir viele lustige Momente und interesante Gespräche. In Situationen, die herausfordernder waren, hatte er eine geduldige und einfühlsame Art damit umzugehen. Auf der ganzen Tour wurden wir mit dem vielseitigen, leckeren und überwiegend selbstgemachten Trockenessen und Snacks von Melina und Max versorgt. Bei der Produktion achten sie auf die Verwendung lokaler Produkte. Auf den An- und Abfahrten war auch immer für alles gesorgt. Es gab selbstgemachte Muffins und Cockies von Melina und immer genug zu trinken im Van. Wir machten auch regelmäßig Stops bei denen Max uns etwas über die Geschichte des Goldrushs erzählte. Man konnte erkennen, dass er die Kultur und Geschichte des Landes gut kannte, in das er vor einigen Jahren ausgewandert war. Auch die Unterkünfte vor und nach der Tour waren sehr gut ausgewählt. Fazit: Terre Boréale ist ein mittlerweile B-Corp zertifiziertes (!) Unternehmen, das sich zum Auftrag gemacht hat einzigartige, unvergessliche Erfahrungen in der Wildnis des Yukon für ihre Kunden zu kreieren. Man sieht, dass sich Max und Melina über jedes Detail ihrer Touren Gedanken und immer das Beste daraus machen. Auch wenn die Touren etwas kostspieliger sind als bei anderen Anbietern, finde ich, dass es in vielerlei Hinsicht ein gutes Investment war. Für mich war die Tour mit Terre Boréale eine der herausfordernsten aber auch lohnenswertesten und inspirierendsten meines Lebens. Vielen Dank für diese Erfahrungen!

I canoed down the Upper Liard River with Terre Boreale. It was a fun trip with beautiful campsites and nice clear water. The food was great (including some of Milena's home baking), the equipment was first class and our guide Marc worked extremely hard to keep us safe, comfortable and well fed. The charter flight in was done very professionally as well.

Bons randonneurs mais néophytes dans le hors-sentier et le camping sauvage, nous avons choisi le trek « dans les couleurs de Kluane » à la fin du mois d’août. Un service et une expérience incroyable de A a Z. Les précieuses recommandations de Max sur le choix de notre trek selon nos attentes et notre expérience et le choix de notre matériel; la prise en charge par nos guides, Marc et Edouard, leurs explications, conseils et petites attentions tout au long du trek, la délicieuse cuisine 100% faite maison, les dernières petites touches sucrées de Mylena pour le retour. Un service bien au dessus de ce que l’on rencontre trop souvent de nos jours… Egalement plus sensibilisé à la philosophie zéro déchet et l’impact de notre passage dans ces paysages si sauvages et préservés. Notre aventure au Yukon était merveilleuse, mais l’avoir vécu avec Terre Boréale l’aura rendue encore plus forte et incroyable.

I did the Across the Ogilvie Mountains trek from August 1-11. Leading up to the trek, Max & Milena did regular check-ins with me to make sure I had the appropriate gear which was quite necessary for this particular trek. They were very prompt with their replies and I greatly appreciated the time they spent answering any concerns that I had. The trek itself was true to its name and more. Each day was a challenge, especially with the unpredictable weather, but my guides Dan and Ed were always calm and there to assist with anything. Whether it was patching up a blister, fixing a broken gaiter, making adjustments to our backpacks, etc. They were also very knowledgeable about the local wildlife, plants, and much more. Most importantly, they were both down to earth and wanted us all to succeed and have a positive experience which our group did! I would not hesitate to join in on another Terre Boreale adventure in the future because I know it will be high quality, fun and well executed. Thanks again for the great memories!

My experience, a week-long tour of the southern Yukon Mountains, was superb. We saw not only the usual tourist sites, but several that were certainly off the beaten track. The visits to the summit of Mount Anderson, Mount Bell and Mount Becker, as well as several smaller ones, were fascinating. The Mountains can be overwhelming, but our guides pointed out the most significant route and methods for climbing and it made a difference. The organization of the tour and the accommodations were excellent and the meals, superb. Our 2 guides, Max and Dan, were enormously knowledgeable, caring and funny, did a wonderful job of sharing their knowledge, and were charming companions, as well. They pushed our limits without ever going over or making us feel uncomfortable. They talked about the animals and plants on the landscape and we saw bears, Cariboo, moose, eagles and falcons. It was an experience of a lifetime and the Yukon is a place that should not be missed. This was their first trip in 20 months and the rust didn’t show. Calmness on the part of the guides helped us achieve things that we did not think we could. I would strongly recommend Max and his company for any Yukon adventures as they know the lay of the land and were approachable and flexible when it came to planning our adventure. Thank you for everything guys.

We planned a family aurora night viewing with Terre Boreale on Jan 21 2020 despite a cloudy day and it turned out to be an amazing experience. Max was our guide and he took us to several locations to try and find the aurora. Max is very professional and knows his stuff, also the vehicle and equipment is clean and comfortable. They were the only company that accepted to take our young kids for the aurora viewing and the kids loved it. Max took the time to show our daughter the cosmos by adjusting the equipment for her height, it was great! Closer to the end of the night, we finally saw the auroras. Max took us to the best possible spot because ahead and behind us there were clouds. We waited in the warm van while eating cookies and drinking tea when Max said we should go outside now. We had time to set up some cameras when the sky opened up and the auroras appeared. It was spectacular and he knew where to be; a true sign of experience. Next time we are in Whitehorse, we will definitely book with them again! Thank you!!

Nous avons fait appel à Miléna et Max pour l’organisation d’un circuit sur-mesure de 3 semaines et demi au Yukon et en Alaska en septembre 2019, au départ de Whitehorse : c'était PAR-FAIT ! Ils ont su nous préparer un parcours répondant parfaitement à nos attentes : en autonomie, véhiculé (truck camper) et avec randonnées à la journée. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié leur souci du détail dans l’organisation du circuit, leur disponibilité pour répondre à nos (nombreuses) questions avant le départ, ainsi que leur bienveillance. Le Yukon est magnifique et nous avons passé l'un de nos plus beaux séjours : de grands grands espaces, beaucoup d'arbres, peu de monde, plein d'animaux = le paradis <3 Nous n’hésiterons pas à refaire appel à Terre Boréale pour de futurs voyages et nous vous recommandons à 200% de passer par eux !

We had Max as our Northern Light Hunter and he is terrific. He is extremely knowledgeable and is eager to share his passion with us. As we waited for the northern lights, Max showed us (with binoculars) the celestial stars and explained what made them special. In addition, we were treated like VIPs with folding lawn chairs, hot bottles to warm us up, hot tea, brownies, coats, blankets, gloves and so much more. Max was more than prepared to ensure we had a great time while watching the northern lights. If you want to have the best possible experience watching the northern lights, we strongly recommend Max.

J'ai sollicité les services de Terre Boréale dans le cadre du séjour "Alaska - Sur les traces de Supertramp", qui s'est conclu il y a une dizaine de jours. Le programme était alléchant, ce qui n'a pas empêché le séjour de tenir toutes ses promesses ! Cela tient avant tout au souci apporté par Terre Boréale aux moindres détails de leur prestation. J'ai été agréablement surpris par la quantité de choses auxquelles nos guides ont pensé afin de nous rendre la vie la plus agréable possible pendant ce séjour, à commencer par la nourriture ! Depuis que j'ai quitté le Yukon, pas un seul jour ne passe sans que je ne repense avec une douce nostalgie aux cookies préparés par Miléna et Max. Au-delà du souci organisationnel dont ils ont fait preuve, j'ai particulièrement apprécié chez Miléna, Max ainsi que chez François - qui, avec Max, nous a guidés sur le terrain durant ce séjour - leur propension à aller au-delà d'une "simple" relation client/prestataire de service, ayant ainsi laissé la place à des échanges authentiques, lesquels ont fortement participé à la bonne ambiance installée au sein du groupe et contribué de ce fait à faire de notre séjour une expérience également riche humainement. Enfin, je n'oublie pas l'engouement avec lequel nos guides ont su, tout au long du séjour, partager leur intérêt marqué pour la faune, la flore mais également l'histoire des coins et recoins qu'ils nous ont fait découvrir, joignant ainsi l'utile à l'agréable. Un grand merci à vous trois, Miléna, Max et François. Peut-être nos routes se recroiseront-elles un jour !

L'agence "Terre Boréale" porte l'accent sur la nutrition ( de grande qualité ) mais aussi sur l'accueil et la sécurité de ses clients. Passionnés et respectueux de la nature, Max et Milena, accompagnés à l'occasion de ce séjour de François, aiment transmettre leur passion commune pour la faune et la flore locales.

Août 2017 . 3 inoubliables semaines au Yukon, extrêmement bien organisées par Terre Boréale ! Tout d’abord, canoë sur la Yukon River, pour une approche plus en douceur de la vie en plein air, dans une nature où la faune , bien que parfois discrète, est déjà très présente ! Puis la fameux trek du Glacier Donjek, dans le Parc Kluane. Une expérience très forte, magnifique et sauvage ! Nous avons l’habitude de partir avec des agences françaises réputées de voyage d’aventure, mais nous avons été émerveillés par le professionnalisme de Miléna et Max. Avant de poser le pied à Whitehorse, nous avions déjà longuement échangé : organisation générale du séjour, bien sûr, et de nombreuses précisions concernant notre équipement de trek ( chaussures, guêtres, duvet, sac à dos, ...). L’une des clés de ce type de voyage ! Les conseils de Max, qui est d’ailleurs aussi professionnel dans le domaine de l’équipement outdoor, sont à respecter absolument ! La taille du groupe ( 6 clients maximum) permet une approche très personnalisée, et avec de très intéressantes discussions. Lors de la semaine de canoë, nous sommes allés de surprise en surprise quant à l’exceptionnelle qualité des repas ! Tout «fait maison « , très varié, avec des produits frais ! Du jamais vu ! Et probablement inégalable ! Sur la rivière, nombreuses explications à propos de la faune ( Max et Miléna repèrent tout : oiseaux, ours, lynx, orignal, ...), et des vestiges historiques. Les lieux de bivouac sont choisis avec soin. Ensuite, le fameux trek du Donjek ! Une organisation au millimètre pour une expérience XXL !!! La veille du départ, chacun s’est vu remettre un sac à l’épreuve des ours, avec sa part du matériel commun, et des repas déshydratés ( toujours faits maison ! ), soigneusement étiquetés. Même les snacks, délicieuses barres de céréales, sont préparés par nos hôtes ! Le matériel fourni ( tentes, gamelle, couverts en titane, ...) est de très bonne qualité,suffisamment léger, parfaitement adapté aux conditions rudes. Ce trek nous a emmenés dans une nature vraiment sauvage ! Nous n’avons rencontré absolument personne en 10 jours de marche. Une expérience inédite, même si nous avons déjà randonné, à pied ou en kayak, dans des régions du monde peu fréquentées ( Côte Est du Groenland, Baie du Roi au Spitzberg, Massif du Makay à Madagascar, ...). Paysages grandioses, chaque jour différents, observations de la grande faune, le rêve du trekkeur amateur de nature ! Et là aussi, Miléna et Max sont aux petits soins pour leurs clients, avec beaucoup d’ attention et de gentillesse. Max a une très bonne connaissance du terrain, et nous nous sommes toujours sentis en sécurité, malgré l’éloignement et l’absence de sentiers. Une superbe aventure, un privilège rare, qui nous a marqués et émerveillés en profondeur ! Bravo Terre Boréale ! Bravo Miléna et Max ! Philippe et Carole, France.

Your Yukon hiking trip itinerary

Upon arrival in Whitehorse, you take the free shuttle to get to your hotel (right there when you exit the terminal). Note that we always try and book hotels which offers the free shuttle but in case there is no more availability, there are always taxis available to drive you downtown (count approximately $25 for a ride from the airport to your hotel). Depending on your arrival time, you will have time to explore Whitehorse and take a stroll on the Millennium Trail or check out the MacBride Museum.

A pre-trip meeting takes place in the lobby of your hotel at 5pm today with your guides. This is the perfect opportunity to ask any last-minute questions about your hiking trip, do a gear check and meet your fellow adventurers!

Night in a hotel in Whitehorse

This morning we drive to the airport and fly out, with a helicopter, into the wilderness.

The flight lasts approximately 20 minutes and offers spectacular views over Whitehorse area and the mountains to the south-west of the city you will not soon forget.

Once the helicopter has left and silence is back, we set up our first camp and enjoy our first hike together in the Coast Mountains.

Lunch and Dinner

Night in a tent

On day 2 we go on a day hike around our camp. We walk in the beautiful alpine where we try to spot local wildlife such as grizzly bears, moose, Dall sheep, caribou, etc. The highlight of the day will be the stunning views we will get from Rosette peak.

On day 3, we pack all our gear and leave nothing behind as we hike over to another camp. It is a rather short hike over the alpine and down to a lake where we set our second camp.

From there we explore the mountains for the next 2 days, on day hikes. Once again enjoying endless views over alpine meadows, high snowy peaks in the background and the beautiful Primrose lake from where we will take off on our last day.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Nights in a tent

For our last day in the mountain wilderness, we hike, fully loaded, down to Primrose Lake where a float plane is waiting for us. Most of the day is downhill, and the views on the lake and the mountains around it are gorgeous.

Once again we fly for 20 to 30 minutes over the mountains and land near Whitehorse, on Schwatka Lake. We drop you off at your hotel for a well-deserved shower!
