Apresentação geral

Yellowknife

Subarctic capital built on granite on the edge of Great Slave Lake, famous for the aurora and its old neighborhood.

The Yellowknife Discovery is built around Old Town Yellowknife, Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre and Bush Pilots Monument. The stay thus alternates between urban life, shores and lakes, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

Ver tudo

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Place indismissible

Old Town Yellowknife

4,7 / 5· Hidengo1 a 2 h

Old Town Yellowknife keeps the tinkered appearance of mining debuts and bush pilots, between colourful houses, workshops, docks and cabins laid near the rock. The streets climb up to the bay, seaplanes sometimes pass over the water, and local addresses give the neighborhood a more inhabited than musseified atmosphere.

Culture and heritage

Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre

4,6 / 5· Hidengo1 a 2 h

The Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre gathers objects, archives and stories from Aboriginal peoples and communities in the Northwest. There are boats, clothing, works, documents on trafficking, aviation, mines and Arctic life. The tour provides concrete landmarks before leaving for the lake, tundra or small localities in the territory.

Place indismissible

Bush Pilots Monument

4,5 / 5· Hidengo30 min a 1 h 30

Located on a rocky outcrop in Old Town, the Bush Pilots Monument pays tribute to the pilots who have connected isolated northern communities. The climb is short, but the panorama embraces Yellowknife Bay, stilt houses, wharves and low islands. The place speaks as much about aviation as about daily geography.

Nature and panorama

Frame Lake Trail

4,5 / 5· Hidengo30 min a 1 h 30

Frame Lake Trail forms an urban loop where Yellowknife is seen at walking height, between bridges, polished rocks and spruce-covered shores. The trail runs along the water while keeping the city close, with openings to the lake and the center. It is suitable for the end of the day, when the sky is reflected in the quiet areas.
