Dogsledding

Dogsledding in the Yukon is one of the most iconic winter adventures in northern Canada. This classic mode of transportation has become a must-do experience for anyone visiting the Yukon in winter. Picture yourself gliding across sparkling snow, guided by an experienced musher and a powerful team of Alaskan huskies — it’s the ultimate way to explore the Yukon wilderness.

Before your dogsledding tour begins, you’ll learn the basics of mushing and dog care from your local Yukon guide. Once you take the reins, you’ll feel the thrill of leading your own team through untouched winter landscapes — surrounded by silence, snow, and endless northern beauty.

Whether you’re looking for a short dogsledding excursion near Whitehorse or a multi-day expedition through the Yukon backcountry, this is a truly authentic northern experience that connects you to our land, our people, and our history.

Dogsledding in the Yukon isn’t just an activity — it’s a journey into our northern heritage and, for many visitors, the highlight of their Yukon winter vacation.
