A northern capital and major transportation and service hub, Whitehorse enjoys the amenities of a much larger city including an international airport and world-class sport and recreation facilities. Cold climate entrepreneurs and businesses can access everything they need in Whitehorse, from long-term storage to engineering services to big-box stores to cappuccinos.

Our year-round highway system has more than 4,700 kilometres of roads linking Yukon to Alaska, Northwest Territories, British Columbia, southern Canada and the United States. Whitehorse has direct jet service daily from Vancouver, direct jet service to Calgary and Edmonton, and scheduled service to the Northwest Territories. In the summer months, Whitehorse receives scheduled flights from Frankfurt, Germany. There are ten smaller airports throughout Yukon, with many smaller airstrips and aerodromes in remote areas. Nearby Skagway, Alaska is the continent’s northernmost ice-free, deep water port, a popular cruise ship destination and intermodal trans-shipment port.
