LOCATION: Wrangell St. Elias National Park Tucked inside the vast landscape of the biggest protected Wilderness area on earth, 100 miles beyond the road, in the heart of a UNSECO World Heritage Monument and the largest National Park in North America; Ultima Thule represents the premier wilderness adventure destination while incorporating a level of luxury unparalleled in such remote corners of the earth.
ULTIMA THULE, defined as ‘the land remote beyond reckoning,’ was built from the realization that indulging creature comforts and overwhelming the senses are ideal ingredients for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This unique and timeless Lodge has adopted a style of “no roughing it” luxury that only enhances the already indescribable setting. Yet the lodge is simply the basecamp in a place where adventure is not dictated by itineraries.
Each day, the weather is considered and safari flight adventures begin. The light bush airplanes are specifically designed to access off the beaten path places while ensuring minimal impact to the natural world and a heightened level of personal experience. Guests find themselves in a world removed from civilization and the press of humanity while stopping for lunch in the middle of the largest (non-polar) glacier on earth; on top of a high alpine plateau to walk among arctic flowers and sample wild berries; next to a salmon stream fishing alongside grizzly bears, or soaring among 14 - 18,000 foot peaks along the way to the Pacific coastline to watch 1000 year old glacier ice crash into the surf.
In the midst of all this grandeur, the thing that makes Ultima Thule truly special is the authenticity experienced on a human level. Here guests are welcomed into the daily lives of the Claus’s – A family living the dream of wilderness adventure and stewardship in a land that truly is beyond.

Alaska's Ultima Thule Lodge
Find out morePhoto tour
Special touches and unique features, such as this bathroom sink carved from a tree trunk, give each cabin charm and elegance.
Immersed in nature, a hundred miles from paved roads, you’ll discover a lodge steeped in luxury and centered on adventure.
Although Alaska contains the largest protected wilderness on earth, most adventurers never get past over-crowded Denali or, at best, McCarthy.
With the Claus family’s celebrated gift for landing gently in wild places, you can touch this wilderness.
The main lodge sits at the top of the hill and houses the dining room, open kitchen, and sitting room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the mighty Chitina River and mountains to the South.
Your luxurious cabin is nestled on a hillside alive with flowers and the Alaskan lodge's abundant vegetable garden.
Sheepskin rugs, king size beds, fluffy down comforters, luxuriously soft linens and skylights that gaze at the stars.
