Tordrillo Mountain Lodge ALASKA, UNITED STATES
Set on the shores of Judd Lake with sweeping mountain views — and Mount McKinley, North America’s highest peak, rising in the distance — Tordrillo Mountain Lodge delivers a rare blend of remote wilderness and refined luxury. Equal parts adventure basecamp and high-end retreat, it’s designed for travellers seeking once-in-a-lifetime experiences in the Alaskan backcountry. Founded two decades ago by Olympic gold
medallist Tommy Moe alongside heli-ski pioneers Mike Overcast and Mike Rheam, the lodge was born from a desire to share Alaska’s extraordinary terrain. Today, it remains the state’s premier and longest-operating heli-skiing lodge, offering access to millions of acres of untouched terrain. Expect deep powder, dramatic descents and more than 600 inches of snowfall each winter, all explored with expert guides and a dedicated private helicopter. The journey begins with a 40-minute private
flight from Anchorage to Judd Lake, where guests are welcomed by the lodge’s team. Here, plans for the days ahead take shape over gourmet bites prepared by the in-house chef. Each stay is fully
bespoke, tailored to individual interests, whether that means adrenaline-fuelled exploration or slower, restorative pursuits. In summer, the landscape transforms. Long
daylight hours illuminate wildflower-filled meadows, glassy lakes and dense forests. Signature experiences include heli-fly-fishing in remote rivers, glacier hiking and flightseeing over the vast, roadless wilderness. The lodge’s exclusive Kings & Corn programme pairs summer heli-skiing with world-class fishing, followed by relaxed apres-fish evenings back at base. Adventure continues closer to home, too. Guests
can try standup paddleboarding on the lake, spot wildlife or snorkel among salmon. For those seeking a slower pace, the recently opened wellness centre features a Nordic-inspired sauna and ice plunge, a dedicated yoga and movement studio, and treatment rooms for massage and therapy. All stays include guided heli-excursions,
gourmet dining, equipment and safety gear, plus overnight accommodation in Anchorage on arrival and seamless transfers to and from the lodge.
DON’T MISS Try contrast therapy in the AlpenSauna, the world’s only heli-sauna accessible via private helicopter
