Matanuska Glacier Zipline Adventure

Line 1: The Nitro

Take a short hike, then ascend the three-story tower to start your flight. Enjoy a great view of the surrounding mountains and the river.

Then take the “leap of faith” and fly. The anticipation will get your palms sweaty, and the initial drop will really get your heart pumping. Fly down the cable, then enter the forest and coast to the end of the line. Many people find that first step challenging, but after that gravity does the work!

• Length: 1,500 feet (457 meters, over a quarter mile)
• Speed: 30 – 40 miles per hour
• Height: The launch tower is 30 feet high on a hill 150 feet above the river.

Please note:

• Minimum age: 8 years
• Minimum weight: 60 lbs
• Maximum weight: 235 lbs (Consider riding the G2 if under 285lbs)
• Max waist/hip size: 46 inches

Line 2: The G2

We drive you to the top of the cliff, over 250 feet above the Matanuska River. Enjoy the amazing view of the mountains, river, and glacier before stepping off the deck for a high-speed zip over 2,200 feet long!

There are dual ziplines, so you can race a friend to the end of the line!

Launching for the G2 is an entirely different experience from the Nitro, and some people find it easier. But the thrill will hit you 2 seconds later when you go over the edge of the cliff and the ground drops 250 feet!

• Length: 2,200 feet (670 meters, almost a half mile)
• Speed: 45 – 60 miles per hour (maximum recorded speed is 63 mph.)
• Height: The launch deck is 12 feet high on a cliff 250 feet above the river.

Please note:

• Minimum age: 8 years
• Minimum weight: 60 lbs
• Maximum weight: 285 lbs
• Max waist/hip size: 46 inches

Not up for both? Use the code G2only when booking to save $20 and ride just the G2.

This is a guided tour. Allow for 1.5 hours with a full group.

Zipline and Glacier Tour Combos:

“There’s more to do in Glacier View!”

If you are making the drive out to Glacier View, why not take full advantage of what the area has to offer? Below are our suggestions for pairing your zipline with other activities in the area, with time for lunch before or after your tour.

Ice Fall Trek

Each Ice Fall Trek will last approximately 4 hours. 

• If your trek begins at 9:30 a.m., start your Zipline Adventure at 3:30 or 5:30 p.m.
• If your trek begins at 11:30 a.m., start your Zipline Adventure at 5:30 p.m.
• If your trek begins at 2 p.m., begin your day with an 11 a.m. Zipline Adventure.
• If your trek begins at 4 p.m., begin your day with an 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. Zipline Adventure.

Advanced Trek

If you are booked onto an Advanced Trek, end your day with a 5:30 p.m. Zipline Adventure. This does make for a long day, so consider spending the night with us at Alpenglow Luxury Camping

Ice Climb

Unfortunately, for timing purposes, a Matanuska Glacier Ice Climb and the Zipline Adventure would need to be split over two days.
