What to Bring on a Matanuska Glacier Tour

Winter in Alaska can be quite cold. Protect yourself against the winter elements by arriving for your tour fully prepared. Dressing in warm layers is highly recommended. Check our full list of what to wear on a winter hike on the Matanuska Glacier.

This means having a thermal base layer (pants and long-sleeve top), a mid-base layer including a fleece or hoodie, and an insulated winter jacket (preferably with a waterproof shell in case of snow).

Insulated or fleece-lined snow pants and insulated, waterproof winter boots are a must.

Wool socks or two pairs of socks will keep your feet warm in sub-zero temperatures.

Don’t forget winter gloves or mittens, a warm hat, and a face/neck protector (this can be a lifesaver when the cold winter winds roll in).

It can get windy on the glacier, and protecting your face from the cold winds will ensure you don’t get frostbite.

Sunglasses or ski goggles are encouraged as they can be very bright on the ice. Feel free to bring a backpack with water, snacks, and extra layers.

*Alaska Residents & Active Military stationed in Alaska ask about special pricing options.

Included: All fees & equipment
Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on conditions)

Description: Join one of our Matanuska Glacier Tours for a once-in-a-lifetime excursion from the lodge out to the terminus of the Matanuska Glacier.
