Nous avons fixé des dates d'arrivée et de départ.
Étape 1 : Se rendre à Yellowknife
Par avion :
Yellowknife est bien desservie par des vols quotidiens en provenance des grandes villes du Canada et des États-Unis, notamment Vancouver (YVR), Calgary (YYC), Edmonton (YEG), Ottawa (YOW), Iqaluit (YFB) et Toronto (YYZ). Les compagnies aériennes desservant Yellowknife sont Canadian North, Air Canada, WestJet et Air North.
Par voie terrestre :
Pour ceux qui préfèrent conduire, Yellowknife est accessible par la route de Yellowknife (route 3), qui relie la ville au reste du Canada. L'autoroute est reliée à des routes principales telles que l'Alberta Highway 35 et la Trans-Canada Highway.
Depuis Edmonton, en Alberta, le trajet jusqu'à Yellowknife dure environ 16 à 18 heures (environ 1 200 km / 750 miles). La route traverse de magnifiques paysages nordiques et de petites communautés, offrant une véritable expérience de road trip canadien.
Il est conseillé aux conducteurs de faire le plein à chaque arrêt sur cet itinéraire en raison de la rareté des points de ravitaillement. Nous recommandons vivement aux conducteurs d'avoir un plan d'assistance routière pour cet itinéraire en raison de son éloignement et des conditions routières difficiles.
Veuillez noter que pendant les mois d'été, les incendies de forêt peuvent affecter cet itinéraire et que pendant les mois d'hiver, les conditions routières peuvent être difficiles en raison de la neige et de la glace, il est donc important de planifier en conséquence et de vérifier les rapports sur les routes avant de voyager.

Étape 2 : Vol en avion de brousse jusqu'à Blachford Lodge
Votre vol de 25 minutes vers le lodge part généralement entre 8h00 et 12h00 des quais historiques de Old Town en été et de la base de l'aéroport en hiver. Vous découvrirez des vues à couper le souffle lorsque votre avion de brousse décollera au-dessus de la baie de Yellowknife et survolera des lacs vierges sculptés par les glaciers en route vers le lac Blachford.

Hébergement avant et après le séjour au Blachford Lodge
Yellowknife est une petite ville où les possibilités de vols quotidiens sont limitées, et les horaires des vols commerciaux ne correspondent pas toujours aux départs des avions de brousse de notre lodge. Les conditions météorologiques peuvent également entraîner des retards à l'aéroport de Yellowknife ou en route vers le lodge.
Si vous devez quitter Yellowknife le jour même de votre retour du lodge, assurez-vous de disposer d'un minimum de 3 heures entre votre vol de retour du lodge et votre vol d'aller pour tenir compte d'éventuels retards et d'un transfert en toute sécurité vers l'aéroport.
Nous vous recommandons l'Explorer Hotel et le Chateau Nova pour votre séjour à Yellowknife. Tous deux offrent un hébergement confortable et sont situés à une courte distance de l'aéroport et du centre-ville. Notre équipe est prête à vous aider pour l'hébergement et les expériences avant et après le voyage. Contactez notre spécialiste des réservations.
Réserver du temps supplémentaire à Yellowknife ne garantit pas seulement une expérience de voyage plus fluide, mais vous donne également l'occasion de profiter du charme nordique de la ville, de la cuisine locale et de la culture autochtone.
Un voyage dans le temps
Votre vol vers le lodge suit les mêmes routes historiques, passant par les lacs Jennejohn, Harding, Hearne et Watta avant d'atterrir à Blachford, où votre aventure nordique commence.
Les Dénés vivent sur cette terre depuis des millénaires. Dans les années 1930 et 1940, des prospecteurs d'or ont exploré la région et ont trouvé à la place une nature vierge, riche en faune et en beauté.
Le Blachford Lodge lui-même a vu le jour grâce à Don Cadieux, un trappeur qui a construit une cabane sur la rive ouest du lac. Sa structure d'origine est toujours là aujourd'hui, sous le nom de "Old Trapper's Cabin" (cabane du vieux trappeur), rappelant tranquillement l'époque où la vie était taillée dans la terre.
Depuis ses humbles racines de cabane de trappeur, Blachford s'est développé pour devenir l'un des plus célèbres gîtes en milieu sauvage accessibles par avion au Canada. Pourtant, il reste ancré dans les mêmes valeurs : le lien avec la terre, le respect de la nature et la paix d'un véritable isolement.

Amazing experience and it exceeded every expectation. The price is worth every cent of the experience and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. The lights, the food, the staff, the location, the activities - everything incredible! Loved experiencing it for Christmas. Go book it, you won’t regret it.
Our experience at Blachford Lake Lodge was incredible. My husband and I came here for a getaway and it was one of the best trips we've ever taken.We stayed in "The Point" cabin, and it was clean, cozy, and comfortable...
Had an excellent experience viewing the Northern lights in an ideal setting, an isolated northern lake. We stayed in the main lodge and the rooms were spacious and clean, with large windows providing excellent views of the lake during the day, and an easy way to spot the northern lights during the night. The food was excellent, and the staff friendly. There were many activities during the day including hiking trails, ice fishing, and snowmobile trail rides. I highly recommend the trip down to great slave lake to see the ice rifts. An excellent place to photograph northern lights or the night sky in general.
It was the best place I have ever stayed at. I will go back again and again. The staff were amazing, very caring, attentive to everyone’s needs. The food was excellent. I stayed in the lodge and my room had an excellent view, bed was very comfortable and very clean. The gloves I brought were not warm enough and they supplied me with mittens that were better and warmer than my gloves. The view for the auroras was a 360 degree view right at the lodge. It was amazing. I am so glad I went, will never forget what a wonderful experience it was.
Without a doubt the best place to see the Northern Lights. The staff is unbeatable, the food, the activities are amazing. The lakefront cabins are super cozy. They made my birthday the best!! Juanito who showed us the auroras, at night, is attentive to warn at the right time and bring us some drink. I would certainly return in winter despite the cold or in summer.
This was an absolutely amazing stay!! From start to finish the staff went above and beyond to make our stay the best. The sight was absolutely breathtaking and the activities were endless. On top of all of that the facilities were really nice and cozy and the food was gourmet!!
What a Canadian gem! The lodge was cozy, clean and comfortable. The staff was exceptionally attuned to the needs of the guests (try northern lights wake-up service!). The chef and kitchen staff cooked 5 star meals. The activities were diverse and fun. For nature-lovers and adventure-seekers: this is for you! We did a family trip (two adults, a toddler and a teenager): we were all extremely pleased with the experience, we had such a good time. We cancelled our trip to the US to invest in our own Canadian economy and we discovered a place we fell in love with! I am so happy with our trip: I highly recommend Blachford Lake lodge.
From start to finish, our BLL adventure exceeded our wildest hopes & expectations! Our initial contact was with Amy before we even left home. She helped us plan the entire trip and was always available to answer all our questions. She guided us through every detail, and was instrumental in the huge success of the trip...
A beautiful setting, amazing food, and a staff that was warm, kind, and seemed to genuinely care about our experience. We enjoyed bonfires, northern lights, saunas, hot tubs, skiing, snowmobiling, doing crafts with the kids, and sledding. Highly recommend the ice fishing! A trip to remember!
I went to the lodge only for one night, but I wish I would've stayed longer. The location is amazing, and the accommodation are beyond expectation. I had a room in the main lodge with view over the lake, big window to enjoy the night sky. There are also cabins that looked great as well, to be more in nature. The staff is so great, the food is really good, the drinks are unique. We went on a fishing ride, and I never caught fishes that big, and it is catch & release which I like. In the morning, I felt at peace having a coffee in front of the lake, looking at the sun rise and the quietness of the forest.
Where do I begin? I wish I could give BLL more than 5 stars! Everyone did their best to make us feel welcomed and nurtured! Our room was clean & cozy, we chose to stay in the lodge as opposed to a cabin. It was more convenient and very comfortable- sometimes a little noisy- The food was amazing!!! Three creative and delicious meals a day! We stayed 4 nights but could easily have stayed longer! My hubby went fishing - I made a dream catcher and harvested spruce gems to make salves! Of course, the main attraction, the Aurora, did not disappoint! The hiking trails were moderate and the views spectacular! It was a dream come true! I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience!
A father-son trip to remember! After enjoying this amazing lodge in the winter, I was able to take my son on a trip here in August. Blachford seems to be a dream in the summer and fall. The lake was beautiful for swimming, and the secluded cabin with modern comforts was lakefront, looking out into the northern wilderness in the evening as eagles hunted. We caught some huge fish and explored the lake by boat. The food is delicious, and the staff are wonderful, (thanks)We hiked a beautiful loop trail through the Boreal forest and listened from the hot tub as wolves howled across the lake and the sun gave way to dancing Aurora. ...Simply Spectacular.
Blachford is a very unique place that I would love to stay at again. The pressure of being awake for the Aurora is off as the staff will come and wake you, if you’d like them too! During the day they have so many activities to participate in, I was nervous about if there would be enough activity wise (I'm a pretty ancy person) and there absolutley was! They’re optional which is nice if you want to relax as well. The hot tub under a starry, sky was incredible and there were always snacks out incase you felt a little peckish. The Aurora was stunning, staff was friendly, and activities were engaging. Thanks again Blachford for such an incredible experience!
Fantastic trip. We went for a few nights in August on a bit of a spur of the moment idea. Of course the lights were spectacular, but the lodge and grounds blew us away too - swimming, wood fired hot tub, mountain bikes, fishing, etc. - with top notch meals as well. Can’t say enough about the staff too. A great team that made booking, getting around Yellowknife, and our stay, special (and easy!).
I’ve been going to Blachford for years, both for business and for personal visits, and it’s one of my favourite places! The location is beautiful, the lake is stunning, the food is delicious, and the aurora views are amazing (even for a lifelong Northerner)! Blachford is a gem.
My favourite remote lodge ever. I have had the privilege of visiting during three different seasons and each one is so special. Fishing, hiking, northern lights, sauna, hot tub, swimming are all to be had here. The rooms and cabins are wonderful, the food has always been delicious. I highly recommend.
