Hatcher Pass ATV Winter Adventures

As the snow falls onto the Alaskan tundra, you’ll climb into the heated cabin of an ATV outfitted with snow tracks for an unforgettable scenic tour with Hatcher Pass ATV Tours, out of Willow.

The Experience

These 2.5-hour-long tours run three times per day, offering epic mountain views and pristine Alaskan backcountry access. No experience necessary to participate (must be at least 21 with a valid driver's license to drive or 18 with a military ID). You’ll experience driving your own snow UTV — a Utility Task Vehicle equipped with tracks during the winter that allows access into unforgettable and difficult to reach terrain. The enclosed cabins with heat and adjustable windows are a game-changer here in Alaska. This, along with your experienced guide ensures you will stay warm, comfortable, and most importantly safe while out exploring the Talkeetna mountains.

You’ll head into the Alaskan backcountry straight from the check-in point on Hatcher Pass to start exploring a unique winter wonderland in style. If that means jamming-out along the way, these machines also come equipped with bluetooth speakers inside to play your tunes if you wish. Or just enjoy the serenity of the ride, whatever you're into!

Once the snowtracks are floating through the snow, you’ll begin climbing up a remote mountain pass, parallel to the gorgeous Willow Creek. The stunning views along the way are also home to an array of Alaskan wildlife such as: eagles, moose, wolves and others if you’re so lucky! When you reach the top, you’ll enjoy some hot cocoa or coffee, picture taking and of course some wild stories from your guide, all while taking in the dramatic views of snow covered mountains in every direction.

If you join the northern lights tour, you may even find the famous aurora dancing in the sky above as you drive winter trails into the Alaska midnight. Round-trip transportation from the Anchorage area is now available.

Snowmobile Tours

You can also choose to join the 2.5-hour scenic snowmobile tour (no experience is necessary). Book a single or multi-seat snowmobile and your guide will take it from there. Breathe in the brisk Alaskan air as you ride along with this unforgettable experience. Taking in the amazing sights and sounds of the wilderness while feeling the freedom of riding your own impressive machine. This is truly the most exciting way to access remote snow covered terrain. Experienced riders can opt for a 3-hour Advanced Powder Sled Tour and blast through deep powder. You won't want to miss this option if you are looking for that epic thill. All brand new snowmobile gear will be provided for guests to ensure warmth and comfort along with your highly skilled guide for this activity.
