Kluane Snowshoe & Cultural Fireside Experience

NEW TRIP — Guided in collaboration with Kluane Outdoor Inspirations This trip is offered in partnership with Kluane Outdoor Inspirations, a local guiding company based at Kluane Lake in Silver City and owned by a citizen of Kluane First Nation, bringing deep local knowledge and extensive experience in the Kluane region. Journey from Whitehorse into the vast winter landscapes of the Kluane Lake region, where mountains rise sharply from frozen shoreline and silence stretches for miles. Your day begins with a scenic drive along the Alaska Highway toward the edge of Kluane National Park and Reserve. As we leave town behind, the landscape opens up into sweeping valleys, snow-covered peaks, and the deep stillness that defines winter in the North. After gearing up and a short introduction, we step onto the snow. Our guided snowshoe journey takes us through quiet terrain along the Kluane Lake area. No crowds. No groomed tourist paths. Just steady movement through winter wilderness. We move at a comfortable pace, with time to take in the scale of the mountains, the light on the snow, and the feeling of being small in a very big place. Following the hike, we gather around a fire for a one-hour cultural session led by a citizen of Kluane First Nation. This is a space for conversation, stories, perspectives, and learning about the deep relationship between people and this land. After the fireside session, we begin the return drive to Whitehorse, arriving early evening. This is a full winter day — active, immersive, and grounded in both landscape and culture. Optional extended experience Our Kluane Winter Immersion Experience builds on this day with extended cultural time, a heated cabin tucked near the lake, warm food including bannock, and a wood fired barrel sauna before the journey back to Whitehorse.
