Unveil a New Perspective

Suspended 2500 ft above the valley floor and spanning a total of 600 ft, the two Veilbreaker Skybridges offer explorers an expansive view of Alaska’s truly wild landscape. The Skybridges are open during the Alaskan summer where the midnight sun gives life to the breathtaking seasonal flora and fauna. Connected by the peaks of Alyeska Mountain, Mighty Mite and Glacier Bowl, the experience spans two bridges with views of Turnagain Arm, monumental glaciers and the deep green of the Chugach boreal forest. The Skybridges connect explorers with their sense of adventure and the beauty of Alaska’s landscape.

Only courage is required.

What to Expect

A guided tour through the expanse of Alaska’s wilderness – from a bird’s eye view. The Veilbreaker Skybridges experience will take you on an exhilarating journey with tram rides to mountain summits, and powerful vistas seen from harrowing heights and stories.

The experience begins with a tram ride to the Mighty Mite summit where Alyeska’s Expert Mountain Guides will take you on a 20-30 minute hike to the Veilbreaker Skybridges from the Mountain Concierge. Following safety training, you’ll be geared up with a harness and helmet to begin your journey across two bridges connecting three mountain peaks. Explorers of any skill level can experience the Veilbreaker Skybridges and the intentionally small Explorer group of up to 6 people per guide allow you to set your own pace.

After crossing the second bridge, explorers are returned to the beginning of the Veilbreaker Skybridges. From there, they will depart on the tram, taking them back to the valley floor.

The experience will change your connection to adventure forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access it?

Veilbreaker is a guided tour only and access to the bridges will only be allowed with an Alyeska guide as part of a paid tour. Venue access is via the Mighty Mite hiking trail to the Christmas/New year’s Chute entry.

What if I feel anxiety crossing the bridge?

Anxiety can be a normal reaction to pushing your limits both physically and mentally. First, don’t worry, you’re harnessed in and totally safe. To overcome fear and anxiety, slow down, take deep breaths and close your eyes. Focus on slowing your breathing and lowering your heart rate, this technique is called box breathing. Once you’re ready, continue onward,and remember, YOU GOT THIS!

Can I take a selfie on the bridges?

Of course! A couple of things to note: we recommend bringing a bungee or tether for your phone. If you drop your phone, there’s no way to retrieve it. Please hold on tight, as your phone is unlikely to survive the fall.

What if there is bad weather on the day of my reservation?

Weather is always a potential when recreating in the mountains of Alaska and it’s something we take very seriously. We have an operational threshold for cancellation which includes high wind, rain, lightning and snow. In the event of a cancellation, we will do our best to move you to a different day during your stay. If we are not able to get you on a tour, we will refund your payment.

What do I need to bring?

You should be prepared with a windproof/rainproof jacket, layers, a small back pack, water and a snack. We have the rest of the gear you will need. A tethered device for cameras and phones is also a good idea to have connected to your device before starting.

Can I do just one bridge?
