I had an unforgettable time with Glanzmann Tours in the Yukon and in Alaska. These two weeks changed my life! Even today, 3 weeks back home, all of these deep impressions pop regularly in my mind and bring a smile to my face: Bald Eagles soaring almost weightless in the sky or battling over salmon carcasses on the river flats; my first sighting of a Grizzly in Klukshu Village; the stunning and wild landscape or, last but not least, the northern lights on a freezing winter night. Sometimes at night, drifting off to sleep, I’m convinced to hear the whistle of the Eagles or the howl of the Huskies. Thanks a lot to Beat and Eva for the warm-hearted hospitality, the professional support with photographic skills and for showing me the beauty of the wild nature in this part of the world. I hope you keep on living your dreams and your passion!!

Fall Colors September Dempster Highway to Kluane National Park

The fall colors were amazing this year like always, just a blast! The guests were impressed with the northern lights displays and made great pictures of the aurora borealis. The dancing lights kept us up a couple of nights for several hours. We could view wildlife and take photos of grizzly bears close to the arctic circle and on a salmon stream near Kluane National Park.

Yukon larger than life!

We enjoy the eagle liveliness in the beautiful sunshine in front of a gigantic mountain landscape. Clawing each other in the air, the eagle rivals swoop among themselves in the fight for the salmon. In the golden morning light we already have several time lapse sessions behind us. The eagles are awake and active, we enjoy watching their flight and fights, continued for days. It is an experience that we will never forget. The thousands of photos we bring home will keep us busy. While sorting them out and working on the pictures we will remember the beautiful time out there. For now we are still looking forward to white snowy days in the quiet wilderness and hope for more magnificent northern lights.

In September we were on our way with guests through the bright, colorful Indian Summer autumn landscapes. We traveled to the Arctic Circle, over the Dempster, the Top of the World and the Alaska Highway. Photographed, hiked and enjoyed the wilderness and cabin life around Kluane National Park. At the salmon river we photographed the mother bear with her playful three cubs. We gazed at the northern lights and the sea of stars during the cool, clear nights. Moose, elks, eagle and coyotes we have seen as well. Good conversations and a relaxed get-together at the campfire were an enrichment for us.

“We would like to thank all our guests for everything you contributed to the success of the tour. It was a wonderful journey with you!”

Meanwhile all leaves have fallen in the wind and we had the first snow all the way down to the valley. The bears are still on their way, the northern lights are active, the memories awake. Winter is coming soon in Yukon!
