The tour format "Canada Edition" is a new format since 2014 and is planned in two parts that can be combined:
1. Canoe Tour: the first part of the journey is a tour by canoe 
on a contributary river of the Yukon River. Depending on the water level
and experience of the participants this is either the
Teslin River (with beginners only) or the Big Salmon River (if there are
experienced canoe drivers in each of the boats). Duration: ca. 10-11 days with
a day of rest in betweeen. Click here to go the the Photo gallery!
2. Mountain Tour: the second part of the journey is a mountain hike
onto ca. 2.000 meters hight (ca. 1.300 meters of altitude - no climbing!)
in the Kluane National Parc face to face to the St. Elias Mountains (up to 6.000 m high).
We walk from the Sheep Visitor Center to the Observation Mountain.
Duration: ca. 5-6 days with a day of rest at the end.
