Getting to Valdez

FLY TO ANCHORAGE

Daily flights to Anchorage (ANC) are available from major airports all over the world, and many flights will connect through the Seattle airport. Our week packages run from Sunday to Sunday, which allows us to avoid the flights often over filled with skiers and gear that the Saturday flights often encounter from other operators. There is nothing worse than sitting on the ground in Valdez while your skis or luggage comes in on the next days’ flight…especially if it happens to be blue flyable weather.

If you plan to fly on to Valdez (VDZ), be sure to arrive in Anchorage before 5 p.m. so you can catch a connecting flight to Valdez. The short 40-minute flight to Valdez offers incredible views of the Chugach Mountains and the terrain you have traveled here to ski!

Once you are ready to pull the trigger on your week and book your travel plans, there are a few options. A short 40-minute flight from Anchorage or an amazingly scenic drive through Interior Alaska.

FLY TO VALDEZ

The 35-45-minute flight to Valdez is available from Ravn Alaska (Formerly ERA). The Sunday flights departs Anchorage at 5:05 p.m. and arrive in Valdez at 5:50 p.m. A BOV representative will meet you at the Valdez airport to help with your bags and drive you the short 10-minutes to the Robe Lake Lodge. Your departure from Valdez the following Sunday will be on the same flight, departing at 6:10 p.m. and arriving in Anchorage at 6:55 p.m. Other flights are available but these work best.
