DAY 1 – FAIRBANKS AND THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
We meet in Fairbanks – the capital of the Northern Lights – right during the spring equinox, when the chances of witnessing this vivid celestial show are at their peak. Once darkness falls, we’ll head out of town, away from the city lights, to catch this unique natural wonder with our own eyes.
DAY 2 – ACROSS ALASKA BY LEGENDARY TRAIN
Today, an unforgettable journey awaits aboard the iconic Aurora Winter Train. We’ll travel through Alaska’s snow-covered wilderness and wild landscapes straight to the colorful town of Talkeetna. We’ll stroll through the historic downtown area, drop by a local pub, and then settle into our cozy cabins to relax after a long day on the rails.
DAY 3 – MOUNTAINS, BANYA AND DINNER
We explore the wild beauty of Hatcher Pass on foot – a stunning high-alpine region with deep snow, frozen creeks and epic views. In the evening: a truly Alaskan experience – Banya (Russian sauna), followed by traditional food and stories by the fire.DAY 4 – DOGS, ENGINES & PURE JOY
Get ready for a real Alaskan double feature: dog sledding and snowmobiling through the snowy backcountry. Experience the silence of the forest with a team of huskies, then switch gears and tear through powder on a snow machine.
DAY 5 – THE ICE GIANT: MATANUSKA GLACIER
Today’s main event: Matanuska Glacier, a 27-mile river of ice that we explore with crampons underfoot and wonder in our eyes. Choose your own adventure: hike or a scenic helicopter ride to a hidden ice cave (paid separately).
DAY 6 – GLACIER HIKE & NORDIC LUXURY
Today we'll head toward the icy wilderness of Portage Glacier for a short winter hike in a spectacular alpine setting. In the afternoon, we melt into the steaming waters of a world-class Nordic Spa – surrounded by snowy peaks and fir trees, this is Alaska’s take on Scandinavian serenity.
In the evening, we will return to the Anchorage airport. You can plan your departure flight for anytime after 8:00 PM.
