Itinerary

As you ascend above beautiful Girdwood Valley, the scenery begins. Crest over mountain peaks into the Chugach backcountry where you will explore the most spectacular glaciers of the region. Your pilot will select the most scenic spot for a glacier landing, you’ll step out of the helicopter and venture onto the ice for 10-15 minutes. Next, you'll fly to a spectacular mountain ridge top for a second landing with a view of vast glacier valleys, or to scenic lakeside destination that makes the perfect backdrop for photos and memories of Alaska.
