Dream Destination: Sheldon Chalet

Perched on a glacier outcrop surrounded by towering peaks clad in ice and snow, Sheldon Chalet is the first and only luxury accommodation in Alaska’s Denali National Park. The only way in and out is via helicopter, with remoteness the ultimate attraction. Only 10 guests can stay at one time, spending their days glacier-trekking, heli-skiing and rappelling. Evenings are reserved for Alaskan seafood feasts, sauna sessions, star gazing and – from September to March – watching nature’s most exquisite show, the aurora borealis.
