About the trip

This eight-day escorted tour by G Adventures offers a winter itinerary through Alaska, starting in Anchorage with visits to cultural sites like the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Travellers will travel northwards on the Aurora Winter Train, passing frozen tundra en route to Fairbanks, a key spot for viewing the Northern Lights.

Along the way, the holiday includes a walk on the icy surface of the Matanuska Glacier and an encounter with Iditarod champion dog sled teams, where guests can try their hand at mushing. There’s also a charming stop in North Pole, Alaska’s festive town, and a dip in the naturally warm waters of Chena Hot Springs to ease away the chill after outdoor excursions.

The route blends cultural visits with outdoor winter activities, all made accessible without a rush. Travelling in small groups aboard private vehicles and a train, this itinerary is an earnest look at Alaska’s winter landscape and traditions, with plenty of time to savour the pace of the frozen season.
