Glacier Ski Trekker

We take a spectacular helicopter flight with Alpine Air Alaska to access glacier snow fields for hiking, ski trekking or snowshoeing.  The rolling glacial terrain offers stunning views,  occasional mountain goat sightings and a unique summer activity.  Your backcountry guide will lead you along the way on this active adventure for all ages.

Backcountry ski boots, trekking skis, snacks, beverage, outerwear, heli-flights and experienced guide are included.  This is a very unique experience, and like most of our products no one else offers it. 

Price:  $429 (adult)  $399 (children 5-12)

Departs:  10am and 3pm (allow 3hrs)

 

Glacier Sled Dog Trekker

Combine glacier ski trekking, sled dog mushing and local deli lunch.

Price:  $799 adult $769 children 5-12

Departs:  10am and 3pm daily (allow 4 hrs)

 

Combine these activities with an incredible heli-flightseeing tour of spectacular glaciers and Prince William Sound. The scenery is unmatched, and the tour includes landing near the face of a glacier.

“Dear Andy,  Our family vacation in Girdwood was made special by you and your adventure activities.  Your 8 years of living and guiding experience in the area was apparent and perfect for us…  The glacial dog mushing, Blue ice kayaking and hiking were all wonderful experiences for each of us.”  Berry R.
