Description
Experience the beauty of Alaska on a 90-minute helicopter tour from Girdwood. Fly over the Chugach Mountains, land on a remote glacier, and enjoy views of Prince William Sound.
Begin your journey with a climb above the lush Girdwood Valley before cresting into the remote Chugach backcountry. Keep an eye out for moose, Dall sheep, and mountain goats as you fly over towering peaks and hanging glaciers.
Land on a remote glacier, where you’ll have 15–20 minutes to step out and explore the ice up close. On the extended return flight, soar over the pristine waters of Prince William Sound.
Your pilot will guide you near the face of a massive tidewater glacier—something only a helicopter can offer—for a once-in-a-lifetime view. Watch for marine wildlife below, and if conditions are right, you may even witness a glacier calving into the sea.
Fly with confidence knowing Alpine Air Alaska is the region’s most experienced and safety-focused helicopter tour company, trusted for over 30 years for our expert local pilots and strong safety record.
Roundtrip shuttle from Anchorage is not included but may be added for an additional fee.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We operate a fleet of Robinson R44 helicopters for our tours. Each helicopter seats three passengers, so larger parties will be traveling in groups of three, using multiple aircraft. For proper weight and balance of the helicopter we may occasionally require groups traveling together to be seated with other guests so we do not exceed the maximum weight limit for the aircraft.
290 lbs weight limit per seat (please contact the office for options for guests over 300 lbs) and 600 lbs combined 3-passenger weight limit per helicopter
We can accommodate group bookings. Please call our office for assistance booking groups of 9 or more
