It won’t be easy to get there… but the journey will be worth it
SHELDON CHALET, ALASKA
A true five-star Alaskan wilderness experience, Sheldon Chalet opened in February this year on a remote glacier in the middle of Denali National Park and Preserve. Located on five private acres, it sleeps up to 10 guests across five stylishly designed bedrooms. During Aurora Borealis season in Alaska, running from 15 September until 30 April, Sheldon Chalet gives its guests prime viewing locations for these legendary northern lights, from the comfort of their own beds, as well as the panoramic views of the highest mountain in North America – just 16km away.
THE HARD BIT
Sheldon Chalet is only accessible by helicopter from the Alaskan city of Anchorage. To get there, catch an SAA flight to New York and a connection with Star Alliance partner United Airlines to Anchorage.
