Experience Alaska's Northern Lights When You Can't Travel Abroad
Sheldon Chalet's Remote Offering Surprises Guests with Rare Sightings
New York, NY (October 01, 2021) Americans are seeking destinations closer to home to experience the beauty of the aurora this upcoming season. Perched on a nunatak 6,000 ft above the Don Sheldon Amphitheater on Denali National Park’s Ruth Glacier, the Sheldon Chalet is only accessible by helicopter from Anchorage or Talkeetna. Five acres of scenic private property at this luxury chalet offers exclusive access to views of some of the most dramatic vistas in the Alaska Range.
This engineering marvel is a remote, yet luxurious experience where guests will find themselves without internet access, allowing them to truly get off the grid. From mid-September to mid-April, under clear weather conditions, the vivid and awe-inspiring blue, green, and purple colors of the Aurora Borealis reflect off the snowy peaks and glaciers and are visible from the chalet with a clarity rarely experienced elsewhere. In the upcoming fall and winter season Denali offers prime aurora borealis and meteorological viewing, full moon glacier treks and golden sunrises. Sheldon Chalet provides the best way to explore Denali in true comfort and luxury. Spend your day skiing, sledding or glacier trekking on Ruth Glacier and end it with a cozy fireside evening and gourmet dinner prepared by Sheldon Chalet’s chef showcasing the finest Alaskan sourced ingredients.
