What To Expect

Expand All

Drive your own sled-dog team with 4 time Iditarod winner Dallas Seavey’s team of mushers, handlers and champion dogs on real snow in the middle of summer surrounded by amazing scenery.

Start this adventure with a helicopter ride over glaciers and icebergs. We often see moose, black bears, Dall sheep and goats.

Land on a huge snow eld high on a glacier and enjoy a whole hour with champion sled dogs and their mushers that live here all summer. Take the dog team for an exhilarating ride through real snow. You can stand on the runners and mush your own dog team or just sit on the sled and let the mushers run the team.

After your dogsled tour meet the canine athletes that pulled your sled, listen to stories about running sled dog races of over a 1,000 miles long, and of course take pictures with your favorite dogs.

After the tour the helicopter takes you back to the lodge and you’ll fly over the lower glaciers where you can see the blue melt pools and the crevasses.
