Not only is this great news for our company, it is also great news for all of the outstanding companies listed - those who have clearly shown a commitment to resource stewardship and environmental awareness - the key principles of ecotourism.

Food

For over ten years Alaska Alpine Adventures has worked to perfect wilderness cuisine. Instead of the usual camp fare, we’ve created some of the most original recipes you’ll ever eat around the campfire. The healthy, flavorful, filling, and nutritious meals we serve always pleasantly surprise our clients. After a day in the backcountry, sit back in your camp chair and enjoy steaming chicken satay over a bed of udon noodles followed by a homemade coffee toffee brownie. Start the morning with a chorizo-scramble breakfast burrito or a stack of hot blueberry flapjacks. Wherever you go and whatever you do, we’re committed to fueling you up for your Alaska Alpine Adventure in the tastiest way possible.

Transportation

Getting to Anchorage or Fairbanks* is a snap. Alaska Airlines, your travel agent, or the carrier of your choice can easily arrange roundtrip airfare from the lower 48. All of our adventures include internal flights and transportation beyond these originating cities. Once you land in Anchorage or Fairbanks, your adventure really begins. For our wilderness-based trips, you’ll find that the areas we visit won’t be found on any road map; our there aren’t any roads! Access to these areas is limited to air travel. When flying within Alaska, be sure to have your camera ready, as all of our flights provide passage into and over vast and magnificent wilderness. Call us for details. *Fairbanks is the originating city for our trips into Gates of the Arctic National Park, The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), and Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. All other trips originate in Anchorage.

Our Guides

It takes a talented individual to be able to lead an Alaska expedition, and our lead guides are true outdoor multi-sport professionals. We hand-select each guide based on their ability to deliver an unparalleled level of customer service, a strong wilderness skill set and background, and an insatiable passion for Alaska’s wild spaces. Each is medically certified as a Wilderness First Responder and carries the necessary qualifications to competently backpack, hike, kayak, canoe, and climb throughout Alaska’s vast wilderness.
