Construction is currently underway on the new Tsaina Lodge, soon to be the base of unprecedented luxury in the heart of Thompson Pass, Alaska. Scheduled to open March 1, 2012, our 18,000-square-foot boutique hotel will be the perfect staging area for your adventure in America’s premier winter-sport destination.

Located 40 miles north of Valdez at Milepost 35 of the Richardson Highway, the Tsaina will deliver contemporary amenities and a solid standard of personalized service to its guests in 16 single and eight double rooms. Its windows filled with an impressive vista of the Chugach Mountains and Worthington Glacier, the lodge will house a casual, fine dining restaurant, open to our guests and the general public alike. And, of course, the infamous Tsaina Bar will also be here to greet Thompson Pass adventurers at the end of an epic day skiing or riding the neighboring peaks. Gourmet food, thirst-quenching spirits and a laidback atmosphere blend to create an experience not soon forgotten.

The Tsaina Lodge is also the home of Valdez Heli Ski Guides, Alaska’s oldest and most experienced heli-ski guide service. Now in its 18th year of operation, Valdez Heli-Ski Guides knows the legendary terrain of Thompson Pass. Its helipad is just steps away from our first-class accommodations.

Experience the Tsaina and Thompson Pass. It’s your solid base in insane terrain.
