General presentation
Parc national Kluane
Southwestern Yukon ice massif dominated by Canada's highest peaks, a vast hiking and expeditional territory.
To understand what Kluane National Park is, you should look at Kluane National Park and Reserve, Mount Logan and Kathleen Lake. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, shores and lakes and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Mont Saint-Élie
Mount St. Elijah stands in a world of extreme ice and relief near the Alaska-Yukon border. For most travellers, it is discovered by air or from the approaches to Kluane Park, as the ascent is a committed mountaineering activity and depends heavily on the weather windows.
Nature and landscape
Kluane National Park and Reserve
Kluane National Park and Reserve Protects a world of glaciers, valleys, boreal forests and massive peaks in the southwestern Yukon. Even from roads and short trails, the park scale gives an impression of immense territory.
Nature and panorama
Mount Logan
Mount Logan is the highest peak in Canada and dominates a vast ice field inaccessible to ordinary travel. Its presence gives Kluane an expedition dimension, even when approached only by viewpoints or panoramic flights.
Nature and landscape
Kathleen Lake
Kathleen Lake offers a softer entrance into Kluane, with clear water, pebble beach and nearby mountains. The trails around the lake allow you to enjoy the park without immediately engaging in a long exit.
