This was one of my most favorite things to do in Alaska! The pilot and staff put safety first which is most important. They also made us feel safe about the flight to the glacier. Once we landed on the glacier it was so fun hanging with the dogs and riding on the sled with them. It was nice talking to the staff up there and learn about the dogs day to day life and the iditarod race. Definitely a must do!

A very professionally run outfit. An Alpine air pilot took us on a short absolutely breathtaking ride to the dog camp on Punch Bowl Glacier. The views wee spectacular, the dogs were well cared for and excited to run. I took my 12 year old daughter and her best friend. They loved the dogs and playing in the snow.

Our family had the most amazing day with Alpine Air. The view from the helicopter was breathtaking. Dogsledding was so much fun and totally different that any other tour out there. Our kids loved getting to know the dogs. And, who doesn’t want to play in the snow during July!
