New Guide Training – Iceberg Hopping

It’s the beginning of summer, which means it’s time for our new guides to complete their training. Our rigorous training program lasts several weeks, and covers everything from local/mining history to glacier travel and physical training. To train in agility, we’ve invented our own version of American Ninja Warrior – navigating floating icebergs in a glacial pond – without falling into the freezing cold water! Check out guide Jules’ quick feet as he navigates the broken ice chunks on the glacier!

Since 1978, St. Elias Alpine Guides has been the oldest continuously operating outfitter in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, guiding thousands of adventures across its 13.2 million acres. With over 40 years of experience and a team of more than 45 expertly trained guides, we continue to explore uncharted terrain and share our passion for Alaska’s wilderness.
