It is recommended that you are able to do easy to moderate hiking for up to 3 hours at a time. You should be cleared to do moderate to intense exercise by your doctor.

For cold training practitioners, Alaska is a wild frontier that offers training unlike anywhere in the world. From river training to ice covered waterfalls in winter and glacier swimming access in summer; from frozen lakes to snowy hikes in shorts, the beauty and expansive level of training opportunities are unmatched worldwide. Winter training offers a great opportunity to see the northern lights, while summer training allows the opportunity to see abundant wildlife.

You will be guided by two of the most experienced, elite cold practitioners. Matt Soule is a level 3 Wim Hof Method (WHM) instructor who has trained hundreds of other (WHM) instructors through his role at the international WHM Academy. Further he has trained many thousands of WHM participants. He has led the majority of his trainings in nature throughout the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and Alaska, although he has also led trainings in Poland, Spain, and many other destinations. John Paul Huffer is a WHM instructor based in Alaska. Born and raised in this epic frontier, he has spent decades in these mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Over the last several years he has led groups throughout the winters to experience the best of Alaska’s cold training options. Our onsite medical doctor, Dr. Ariadna Uriarte, is a world-class health expert, Level 2 WHM instructor among many other certifications in health and well-being.
