Venture deep into the heart of the Chugach Mountains on an unforgettable helicopter journey above some of Alaska’s most spectacular and remote landscapes.

As you leave Whittier behind, soaring peaks, expansive glacier fields, and rugged alpine terrain stretch to the horizon, revealing a wilderness few visitors ever experience. During the spring and summer months, brilliant blue meltwater pools create striking patterns across the ice, highlighting the dynamic beauty of this glacial environment.

The adventure includes a landing on a remote glacier, where you’ll have the rare opportunity to step onto the ice and experience this extraordinary landscape firsthand. Surrounded by towering peaks and endless ice fields, you’ll gain a new appreciation for the power and scale of Alaska’s wilderness.

During your flight, keep watch for wildlife navigating the rugged terrain below, including moose and bears in the valleys and Dall sheep and mountain goats along the high ridgelines. From dramatic alpine vistas to the possibility of witnessing glacier calving, this is a truly immersive Alaska experience that few travelers will ever forget.
