Individual arrival of participants in Whitehorse. Welcome to Canada's Yukon! The local tour guide will greet and welcome the tour participants at the airport. Transfer to the hotel. Meeting and introductions with the tour group.

Today's short drive takes you west again along the Alaska Highway. Several sights along this stretch invite you to make brief stops before you reach Haines Junction – located at the foot of Kluane National Park – in the early afternoon. Kluane National Park is not only the largest national park in Canada, but it also boasts a diverse array of wildlife and the largest contiguous glacier area on Earth outside of the two poles. To this day, this vast national park remains largely untouched and pristine. Depending on the weather and the group's interests, a guided hike into the national park can be undertaken. Another possible attraction is a flight in a legendary bush plane over the park's impressive glacier landscape, deep into a virtually uninhabited area (optional).

The journey begins along the picturesque shores of the vast Kluane Lake. Our first stop is planned at the Sheep Mountain Visitor Center. In the surrounding mountains, there's an excellent chance of spotting some of the rare, snow-white Dall sheep. Have your camera ready; these usually very shy animals sometimes come right down to the road! Shortly after, we reach Soldier Summit, where informative panels provide a glimpse into the construction and opening of the Alaska Highway in 1942. We continue along the Alaska Highway and reach the Alaska-Canada border in the afternoon.

The first part of today's leg takes you along the Glenn Highway, past countless rivers, lakes, and glaciers, and the imposing Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Later, the route continues south on the Richardson Highway to the Pacific coast and the small port town of Valdez. A spectacular highlight is crossing the Chugach Mountains via Thompson Pass, with its roaring waterfalls right next to the road. Framed by alpine scenery, Valdez is also known by its residents as Little Switzerland. The town is also famous as the terminus of the world-renowned Trans-Alaska Pipeline, where large oil tankers are loaded.

The ferry takes you through Prince William Sound, undoubtedly one of Alaska's scenic highlights. Passing numerous glaciers of the coastal mountains and small, forested islands, the route follows the Pacific coastline. Here, you'll find excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. With a little luck, you might spot not only adorable sea otters and puffins, but also sea lions or even whales. Back on land, more attractive photo opportunities await. Not far from Whittier, for example, you can see the Portage Glacier or the Byron Glacier. The drive to Seward through the Chugach Mountains, past several glacial rivers and lakes, is another highlight. In the lively fishing town of Seward, you can treat yourself to local culinary delights in one of the many restaurants in the evening. Be sure to try the king crab. A short stroll along the coast is the perfect way to end the day. (Overnight stay in a hotel in Seward)

In the morning, there are still a few opportunities to get a glimpse of Kenai National Park. One of the most popular options is the optional Kenai Fjords Tour, which takes you deep into the impressive, diverse, and wildlife-rich fjord region. After leaving the Kenai Peninsula and driving along the Kenai Mountains, the journey continues past Turnagain Arm and up to Anchorage. Keep an eye out for the white beluga whales, which are frequently seen in this bay! Once back in the bustling city of Anchorage, a delicious meal together at one of the many restaurants or microbreweries is a great way to round off the day. (Overnight stay in an Anchorage hotel)

Anchorage offers a wealth of options on the last day of your eventful journey. At Lake Spenard, the largest seaplane base in the world, up to 800 aircraft take off and land daily during the summer. Nearby is the Aviation Museum, where you can admire many legendary aircraft types. Those who simply want to relax after this grand tour filled with new impressions, or perhaps do some shopping before returning to Europe, will also have the opportunity today. Transfer from the hotel to Anchorage Airport or individual onward travel arrangements. (Short-notice changes to the itinerary are possible and at the discretion of the tour guide.)
