About Whitehorse, Yukon Territory
Alpine Bakery is located in downtown Whitehorse, which is on the banks
of the mighty Yukon River, surrounded by pristine mountains, lakes,
and spacious sky. A place of ‘magical’ extremes — the dark of winter,
with awesome northern lights and winter sports, such as
downhill/cross-country skiing, snowboarding, dog sled-mushing and the
Canada Games indoor sports center.
Summers are exceptionally beautiful with long days of sunlight ideal
for mountain biking, hiking, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, and camping.
There is a vibrant arts community with year round concerts,
exhibitions and classes. Most visitors and new residents find

in housing/communications, tax advantages, and daily access to
Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary via short jet flights with Air North
and Air Canada.
