Alaska's Premier Wilderness Cross Country Ski Lodge
Established since 1977 |
|
Denali View Chalet, situated in the southern foothills of the Alaska Range just 40 miles south of Mount McKinley, is a true wilderness lodge with no road access.
An 8 miles ski-in from the Pertersville Road through spruce and birch forests and open flats only whets the appetite as with every stride McKinley, Foraker and Hunter loom closer.
An abundance of snow.
Wilderness skiing on set tracks.
Hearty wholesome meals.
Sauna by the lake

Rustic and Remote Alaska Charm.
No generator noise, as our lights are silent propane lamps. The living room offers a fine vantage of Mts. McKinley, Foraker, Hunter and other massifs in the Alaska Range. The sitting area is centered around an enormous woodstove to toast your toes on winter nights. There is a communal dining area, a ski waxing area and a wood fired sauna with hot shower.

Memories for a lifetime |
Wilderness skiing on set tracks
Once you're settled in the skiing possibilities really open up. Try for instance, an eight-mile trek north with North America's largest mountain in view most of the way. The trail climbs into the Peters Hills from where McKinley is visible at the spot where Sydney Laurence painted it. Or tour on set tracks that loop through rolling terrain that ressembles the Norwegian uplands, the clasic stuff of cross crountry skiing.
Other activities could include snowshoeing, a sledding and tubing hill-build an igloo or snow cave- fun for all ages.

Built originally as a Austrian style backcountry ski chalet by Sepp Weber in the 1970s, Denali View Chalet has long been a favorite winter destination that can offer memories for a lifetime. | | |
