A special heli-skiing tour for Japanese guests will be held from April 10 to 17, 2022 in Yukon, Canada's Far North. The tour for Japanese people has been frozen for a while due to the corona wreck, but the long-awaited tour will be held in April. Canada will allow travelers to enter without quarantine from September 7, 2021, on conditions such as vaccination and submission of negative proof. Although the future outlook is somewhat uncertain, this special tour was planned on the premise that a certain level of overseas travel environment will be in place by spring at the latest.
The stage is the charming Yukon
The Yukon Territory is located in the northernmost part of Canada and is a land of wellness connected to Alaska. Nature lovers and travelers who love to travel are packed with content that is irresistible, such as the majestic wilderness that stretches on and on, the outdoor activities that can be enjoyed in all four seasons, and the beautiful curtains of light that color the night sky called the Aurora.
A dream-like heli-ski tour in which you can freely ski off-piste in a helicopter in the coastal mountains of the Yukon Territory, which is full of charm, was specially planned this time "Yukon Heli-Ski 8 Days from Japan (5 Days Heli-Ski)". is. What's more, this is the ultimate luxury trip where you can expect to see the Aurora Borealis.
Stay at a base called "Tiny Town" that appears in the wilderness only during the heli-skiing season. You can also enjoy the cuisine and culture of the indigenous people living in the northernmost part of the country. Tiny Town is located directly below the Aurora Belt, a region where auroras frequently occur, and is a popular spot for aurora viewing. In other words, it is a special tour that has the potential to experience two special activities, heli-skiing and aurora viewing, at the same time.
Best season for tours in the Yukon! ｜April 10 (Sun) to 17 (Sun), 2022
The Yukon season is about two months from March to early May, when the weather gradually stabilizes after the middle of winter when the cold air that originates in the Arctic Ocean flows in and the weather continues to be rough.
Therefore, mid-April, when the tour is held, is definitely the best season for the Yukon! Fly to slopes accessible only by helicopter, and draw fast tracks to your heart's content on vast stretches of pristine white powder. Yukon Heliskiing will operate the helicopter for this special tour. A heli-ski specialty company operating in the northernmost part of Canada, using small helicopters called A-Stars instead of conventional large helicopters. In principle, we are doing a core tour in a small group of up to 8 people.
