A hike up the long monitored trail, or the 400 mt. of Via Ferrata is the only way you can reach this suite. After a 1,200-foot walk up, you can finally relax and call this place home for the evening.
Whitewater Rafting, Alaska
Alaska is a hub for amazing adventures such as glacier hiking, zip-lining, and heli-skiing. But their real highlight is actually the different types and forms of water sports. You will find one of the best whitewater rafting spots in the pristine beauty of Alaska’s wilderness. If rapids aren’t your thing, you can also kayak through iceberg fields and glacier-carved fjords. It doesn’t matter if you choose a whitewater adventure or a calm glacier float trip, you will not be disappointed by the experience. That’s not all – expect snowmobile tours, hot springs, cruises, and great wildlife sightings.
