Your German-speaking tour guide will meet you at Whitehorse Airport and take you to your hotel. In the evening, you will meet your fellow hikers.

After a tour of Whitehorse on the paddle steamer SS Klondike, you'll travel south along the Klondike Highway, stopping at the Carcross Desert, Emerald Lake, and in Carcross itself. Passing Windy Arm, you'll journey through the coastal mountains to Skagway, where you'll hike the first section of the historic Chilkoot Trail. In the evening, the Red Onion Saloon offers live music in a Gold Rush atmosphere.

Skagway is considered an open-air museum of the Gold Rush – thousands of prospectors once landed here to set off for the Klondike via the Chilkoot Trail. After another short hike, the ferry takes you across the Lynn Canal to Haines, with a bit of luck accompanied by sea otters, sea lions, or whales. The journey continues through the Valley of the Bald Eagles and along the scenic Haines Road to Haines Junction.

The entire day is dedicated to hiking in Kluane National Park, Canada's largest national park. One of the most beautiful trails leads to Sheep Mountain, offering views over the vast Kluane Lake – with a good chance of spotting the shy Dall sheep.

The Auriol Trail, south of Haines Junction, takes you on a roughly four-hour hike through stunning forest and mountain scenery. Alternatively, you can opt for a helicopter flight over the glaciers. In the early evening, you'll return to Whitehorse in about two hours.

After a detour to the world's longest wooden salmon ladder, you'll visit the Beringia Centre with its Ice Age exhibits. The journey continues along the Klondike Highway, following the Yukon River, past the infamous Five Finger Rapids and old post stations from the Gold Rush era. You'll arrive in Dawson City in the evening.

Early in the morning, you'll set off on the legendary Dempster Highway, the over 730 km long gravel road leading towards the Arctic Ocean. At the foot of the striking Tombstone Mountains, you'll embark on a spectacular day hike through tundra and mountains – especially in early autumn, the landscape glows with incredible colors.

Gold is still mined in historic Dawson City, at the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers. Optionally, you can visit an active gold mine at Bonanza and Eldorado Creek, followed by a panoramic view of the city from the Midnight Dome. In the evening, head to Diamond Tooth Gerties for a casino and cancan show.

Take the ferry across the Yukon River to reach the Top of the World Highway, one of North America's most spectacular high-altitude roads. Traveling across alpine plateaus and tundra, you'll cross the highest border crossing between Canada and the USA and pass through quaint towns like Chicken. You'll arrive in Glennallen, Alaska, in the evening.

On the remote Denali Highway, known to only a few travelers, you'll drive through cinematic wilderness panoramas. In the evening, you have the option of taking an approximately one-hour glacier flight.

The park's own bus takes you deep into Denali National Park. On a clear day, you'll see Denali, which rises to 6,193 meters, and with a bit of luck, you might spot wolves, Dall sheep, moose, caribou, and grizzly bears. In the evening, the shuttle bus will bring you back to the park entrance.

Via George Parks Highway and past Anchorage, you drive along the Turnagain Arm, where beluga whales are often seen, to the lush green Kenai Peninsula and on to Seward.

Today you can take another hike around Seward or, optionally, join the six-hour boat tour into Kenai Fjords National Park, where you can see calving glaciers and marine mammals. The Alaska SeaLife Center is also worth a visit, and in the evening, fresh seafood dishes await.

In the morning, a hike around Seward is on the agenda – perhaps on the Iditarod Trail, the tide-dependent Coastal Trail, or to Tonsina Beach. In the afternoon, you'll reach Anchorage, where the seaplane base on Lake Spenard, the Aviation Museum, or a shopping spree await.

Transfer to Anchorage Airport and return home or start of your onward program.
