Holiday Overview
View the spectacular Northern Lights from Southern Lakes Resort in the Yukon. The Southern Lakes Resort lies in the heart of the Traditional Territory of the Carcross and Tagish First Nation, the resort is in the rugged beauty of Yukon’s northern landscape. The Southern Lakes Resorts offers an authentic Yukon experience viewing the Northern Lights.
