Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs: Soaking Outside in Yukon Winter
Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs reopened on the site of the old Takhini Hot Pools, outside downtown Whitehorse. It’s a quiet sauna village built around natural thermal water, designed for slow afternoons and even slower winter evenings. If you’re visiting Whitehorse, it’s worth carving out half a day for it.
What’s on site
- Multiple thermal pools at varying temperatures.
- Cold plunge basins.
- Sauna and steam facilities.
- Rest areas and visitor amenities that may change.
How to plan it
Check current entry requirements and reserve directly when required, especially during busy travel periods. Bring a swimsuit, suitable footwear for wet areas, and a warm hat for walks between buildings in winter. Confirm current towel and facility details before travelling.
Pairing it well
The Yukon Wildlife Preserve is on the same road, so many visitors consider wildlife in the morning and the hot springs later. In winter, leave enough time for changing conditions and a careful return to town.
