The vastness and diversity of the Yukon means the Canadian destination is an ideal location for visitors to escape to in 2021. With 80% pure wilderness, UK tour operators have added a considerable amount of new Yukon product for the upcoming winter season.

Whilst the Yukon is currently patiently waiting to welcome visitors back to Canada's Northwest corner, those currently planning their next big holiday can be reassured that in the Yukon, they will be able to escape the crowds and have breathtaking adventures in the wild, whilst staying in remote accommodation.

The Yukon is home to 5,000-metre peaks, forested valleys, unspoiled waters and untamed wildlife with more than 160,000 caribou, 70,000 moose, 22,000 mountain sheep, 6,000 grizzly bears, 220 species of birds and only 40,000 humans. With national and territorial parks in abundance, including the UNESCO World Heritage site, Kluane National Park, four Canadian Heritage Rivers, and 3,000 miles of road, some of Canada's most remote areas become accessible to visitors in the Yukon.
