Spectacular Winter Sky Watching

Winter Activities

In the Northwest Territories where winter lasts half the year (or more) we’ve found plenty of cool ways to enjoy it. For starters, how about a dog sledding adventure? There’s nothing like the thrill of whooshing along behind a team of eager huskies, snow flying and harnesses jingling. Make it an hour’s jaunt or a weekend long trek. You can even drive the team yourself, once a seasoned musher shows you how.

Choose a Magical Northern Adventure

Take in awesome displays of Northern Lights at midnight in autumn and winter. Choose a wilderness lodge where you can see the aurora right overhead. We also specialize in memorable fishing vacations - fish for world class trophies on one of our super-sized lakes in the long days of northern summer. Or you could drive across the Arctic Circle to the amazing Mackenzie Delta, on the Dempster Highway.
