Private Ice Fall Trek

Tailored Adventure on the Matanuska Glacier—Just for Your Group

Step onto the living ice of the Matanuska Glacier with a private guide, and experience a trek designed entirely for your family, friends, or group. This is glacier hiking at your pace, tailored for multigenerational families, larger parties, or anyone seeking a personal, unforgettable adventure.

Use microspikes (specialized traction devices) to literally ‘walk on water.’ Feel the crunch of white ice beneath your feet as you step into an otherworldly landscape. White ice stretches alongside moraine-covered terrain, shimmering blue pools catch the sunlight, and deep crevasses reveal the glacier’s hidden depths.

The culmination of your private tour showcases the glacier’s living, ever-changing nature: the breathtaking icefall, a towering cascade of ice that defines the heart of this otherworldly landscape.
