Sometimes you just need to get away from the everyday. And there’s good reason. When you are close to the land and water, relationships change. The land and water are lend themselves to learning and natural healing. That’s why people come to Shakat Tun.

We operate year-round. In the summer, the glistening midnight sun and fresh air gives us long days and boosts of energy. Winters in Yukon can be a magical display of dancing Northern lights, fresh fallen snow and, surprisingly, rather comfortable temperatures. Of course, every now and then the mercury can drop to -30c or colder. However, when you’re dressed for the cold and you become enveloped by the silence and beauty of sun-kissed, snow covered mountains, you’ll fall in love with winter at Shakat Tun.
