PLAN YOUR TRIP
Your journey begins in the quiet winter beauty of Girdwood, a valley town nestled among hanging
glaciers and snow-draped peaks. Here, you’ll settle into the alpine comfort of Hotel Alyeska, where
cozy refinement and dramatic scenery offer a gentle introduction to Alaska’s wild elegance.
From Girdwood, a private helicopter will lift you into a world few have seen—Denali’s remote Ruth
Glacier, home to the extraordinary Sheldon Chalet. Suspended nearly 6,000 feet above sea level,
surrounded by vast silence and shimmering ice, this exclusive lodge is your gateway to the sublime.
Nights are spent stargazing and watching the aurora from the warmth of the deck; days unfold in
curated adventure, fine cuisine, and the rare luxury of total seclusion.
