OUR AIRCRAFT FLEET
Purpose-Built Aviation for Alaska's Most Remote Peaks and Waters.
Every expedition at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge begins in the air. Operating Eurocopter AS350 B3 A-Stars, de Havilland Turbine Otters, Beaver floatplanes, and ski-planes from Lake Hood Anchorage and Judd Lake.
Where Precision Flying Meets Wilderness Access.
Tordrillo Mountain Lodge sits 60 miles west of Anchorage on Judd Lake, surrounded by 1.2 million acres of glaciated summits, volcanic peaks, and wild salmon rivers. Without roads or highways, our custom aviation fleet is the heartbeat of every guest experience.
From high-altitude ridge drops in 600 inches of annual powder to floatplane landings on glass-calm alpine lakes, our pilots hold tens of thousands of flight hours navigating the complex weather systems of the Alaska Range.
