About this tour
Experience the splendor of winter in Alaska from the comfort of a warm railcar, complete with comfortable seats, large picture windows and onboard dining. The Aurora Winter Train travels between Anchorage and Fairbanks, making the northbound 12-hour journey on Saturdays, as well as select mid-week departures (Tuesdays and/or Thursdays) December through March. Flagstop service is provided along the 50-mile stretch of roadless backcountry south of Hurricane Gulch.
While the Aurora Winter Train travels the same stretch of tracks as the summer Denali Star Train, the views are strikingly distinct; the vibrant colors of Alaska’s summer landscape give way to the quiet serenity of pristine snow. On a clear day, a spectacular view of Denali rises into view above the Susitna River. And anywhere along the tracks, a watchful eye may be rewarded with the sight of a moose in the wild.

Anchorage, Alaska
5.0 · 5 reviews on Viator
Our customers have trusted us and utilized our equipment and services for 10 years. They have had wonderful vacations kayaking, packrafting, hiking, biking, fishing around bears and enjoyed the increased peace of mind carrying a reputable brand of bear spray. They save alot of money, rather than buying since you cannot fly with bear spray and it's cheaper than buying both the can and the holster.
