Overview

Accessible by trail only, Sperry Chalet is one of two remaining Glacier chalets, opened in 1914. The views from Sperry Chalet are worth the rigorous climb: awaiting you are two main stone buildings comprising the dining hall, kitchen, and 17 private guest rooms, encompassed by divine alpine scenery.
