Winter Railroad Trip in Alaska 2024-2025

Ever dreamt of the Polar Express? Try it in Alaska

Best time: October–mid-April

From Anchorage to Fairbanks

The Alaskan railroad is something more than just a railway network with trains going from one spot to another. There are plenty of routes and different tours throughout the whole year. Though, the “winter package” excursions are especially interesting.

The peak season is from October until the middle of April. You can choose a one-day trip or even a journey with stops and accommodation for a week; it all depends on your preferences and budget. Explore the Arctic Circle, watch the northern lights, join the famous Iditarod dog sledging race, or just enjoy the majestic landscapes of Alaska!

Though, if you don’t have enough money, just buy a simple ticket from Anchorage to Talkeetna or Seward and enjoy some unforgettable views of the ​Alaskan nature.
