Conquer the Ice with Knik Glacier Ice Climbing Tours

Yes. Every tour is fully private, meaning your group has its own guides and climbing setup. This allows for a more personalized, flexible, and comfortable experience on the glacier.

No experience is required. Our expert guides teach you everything from basic footwork to tool placement, making this accessible for first-timers while still exciting for more experienced adventurers.

This is an active experience, but it’s designed to be approachable. You can climb at your own pace, take breaks as needed, and choose routes that match your comfort level.

Summer climbs feature bright blue glacier ice and expansive views, while winter offers frozen waterfalls, snow-covered landscapes, and a more dramatic alpine environment. Both are unique, unforgettable experiences.

After check-in, gear fitting, and a safety briefing, you’ll take a scenic helicopter flight to the glacier. From there, you’ll spend time learning techniques and completing multiple top-rope climbs, with breaks and coaching throughout, before flying back.

We provide all technical climbing gear, including boots, crampons, helmet, harness, ropes, and ice tools, along with professional instruction and trail snacks. Everything is set up for a safe and seamless experience.

Yes. Safety is our top priority. You’ll be climbing on secure top-rope systems under the guidance of experienced professionals who tailor each climb to your skill level and current conditions.

Dress in warm, layered clothing with a waterproof outer layer. Bring sturdy footwear, gloves, sunglasses, and a camera. We’ll handle the technical gear.
