Tucked deep within the rugged terrain of Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Ultima Thule Lodge is a remote luxury retreat that offers unparalleled access to some of the most pristine wilderness on Earth. Accessible only by bush plane, the lodge is surrounded by a vast, untamed landscape of towering mountains, sprawling glaciers, and verdant valleys, making it a haven for adventurers seeking an exclusive and unforgettable experience.
The lodge’s accommodations blend rustic charm with modern comforts, providing guests with a cozy and luxurious sanctuary in the heart of the Alaskan wild.

What sets Ultima Thule Lodge apart is its commitment to personalized adventure. With no fixed itineraries, the experience is tailored to each guest’s interests and abilities. The lodge’s private fleet of bush planes and expert pilots allows for unparalleled access to remote and untouched corners of the park.

Wildlife enthusiasts may encounter bears, moose, and mountain goats, while photographers can capture the stunning beauty of the Alaskan wilderness from unique vantage points.
In the evenings, the lodge transforms into a serene retreat where guests can relax by the fire, soak in the wood-fired sauna, or gaze at the stars in the unpolluted night sky. The absence of modern distractions allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural world, making each stay a deeply rejuvenating experience.
Ultima Thule Lodge is not just a destination; it’s an invitation to explore the unspoiled beauty of Alaska in unparalleled luxury.
