    Das Yukon-Territorium in Kanadas Nordwesten ist geprägt von unberührter Wildnis und einer faszinierenden Goldrauschgeschichte. Hier erstrecken sich majestätische Bergketten, darunter der Kluane-Nationalpark mit Kanadas höchstem Gipfel, dem Mount Logan, sowie weite Tundra und der historische Yukon River. In Dawson City, dem Zentrum des Klondike-Goldrausches, erlebst du die lebendige Geschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts, während die Hauptstadt Whitehorse als zentraler Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen dient und indigene Kultur präsentiert. Die Region bietet im Sommer endlose Tageslichtstunden für Outdoor-Aktivitäten wie Wandern und Kanufahren. Im Winter präsentiert sich der Himmel mit spektakulären Nordlicht-Erscheinungen, die du am besten zwischen Ende August und April bei klaren Nächten beobachten kannst. Plane ausreichend Zeit für die Erkundung der weitläufigen Landschaften ein und informiere dich über die oft großen Distanzen und die nötige Infrastruktur.
