Winter Trips

**For the 2022-2023 season, we are available in February, March, April 2023 for our Private Winter Trips.**

Our winter season starts in October and operates through April each year, depending on snow conditions. Winter operations are based out of our Denali office, but we continue to offer services around the state. In addition to privately guided full day adventures our team can build multi-day activity packages or entire trip itineraries complete with dog mushing, aurora borealis viewing, skiing and more.  Some of our favorite winter adventures are listed below.

Winter is a unique and special time to visit the state. With that in mind, we like to speak with visitors before confirming winter reservations. Click the request info button below to tell us a bit about your winter trip goals, and someone from our team will contact you to discuss the details and review what to expect for your Alaska winter trip.

Client POV on a 4-day Traverse Alaska / Tonglen La Client POV on a 4-day Traverse Alaska / Tonglen Lake Lodge trip package: 
Watching the sunset over a glassy Tonglen Lake after an introductory walk in the entrance area of Denali National Park. Tonight the chef served delicious halibut, and we’re going to listen to some music later in the lodge. Tomorrow we’re going on a full day of adventure, hiking and river rafting with our team of private, local guides. After exploring we’ll enjoy the mountain views at Tonglen, and sip wine and tasty appetizers until dinner. The following day we’re going on a bus trip into the national park, and are planning on hiking on our own (thanks to our new skills from our guided hike) and soak up the views of the Alaska Range mountains. Our final day we plan on going for another walk with our private guide, before we get a private ride to Anchorage, for the next portion of our 2-week-long Alaska adventure.
