Board the Aurora Winter Train and settle into your heated railcar with comfortable seats and large picture windows, fully immersing you in Alaska’s winter wonderland just outside. Follow the same tracks as the iconic summer Denali Star Train and venture into the untouched snow-covered landscape blanketing North America’s highest mountain peak, stopping in Talkeetna, Healy, and Nenana en route to Fairbanks, the largest city in interior Alaska with a small-town charm.
Witness the aurora borealis during an experience like no other during your evening Chena Hot Springs Northern Light tour. Marvel at the intricate ice sculpture at the Aurora Ice Museum before dipping into renowned mineral water baths, with the mystical Alaskan night sky brought to life by the northern lights.
