Best Time to Visit

Weather

Whitehorse experiences a subarctic climate with long, cold winters and short, warm summers. Expect crisp, dry air and significant snowfall from November to April. Summer brings extended daylight hours, with temperatures often reaching pleasant levels, though evenings can still be cool. Spring and autumn offer transitional weather, with beautiful colours but also the potential for unpredictable conditions.

Best Months

For the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights, visit between September and April. If you prefer warmer weather for outdoor activities and long daylight hours, July and August are ideal.

Peak Season

The peak season typically runs from June to August, coinciding with the warmest weather and longest days, making it perfect for hiking and sightseeing. Expect more crowds and higher accommodation prices during these summer months.

Off Season

The off-season generally falls between October and May, excluding the prime Northern Lights viewing period. You'll find fewer tourists and potentially lower prices, but be prepared for very cold temperatures and limited daylight in mid-winter.
