Take a helicopter to one of the most remote places on Earth

Braggability 9

What could be more luxurious than a chalet so remote it is accessible only by helicopter? Perched at 6,000ft on a ridge in the Alaskan Denali National Park, Sheldon Chalet is not only plush in the extreme, but also an exceptional feat of engineering. It is the only lodging on North America’s highest mountain, and overlooks the Don Sheldon Amphitheatre, famed for its frozen river of ice. The lack of light pollution makes it the perfect place to watch the northern lights, while guests can spend their days heli-touring, skiing, exploring ice crevasses and glacier trekking, before heading back to relax in the sauna, enjoy a gourmet dinner and sup drinks by the fire. The “final frontier” never looked so good.

How to do it Three-night stays at Sheldon Chalet (sheldonchalet.com) cost from £63,000 for up to four. Available from September to April
