Alyeska Resort

Tucked amid the Chugach Mountains on Alaska's south central coast, The Hotel Alyeska is the place to discover the mystique of the Last Frontier.  Alyeska Resort is located just 40 miles south of Anchorage, in the quaint town of Girdwood.  Enjoy our world-class accommodations while experiencing the adventure of the Alaska wilderness.  Discover the luxury within the rugged setting with glaciers, bald eagles and towering spruce trees.

With an average annual snowfall of 631 inches, non –existent lift lines, diverse terrain and unparalleled views, Mt. Alyeska offers 2,500 vertical feet of terrain. There are wide open bowls, long top-to-bottom runs and tree-lined runs ideal for snowboarders. 

Boasting 2,000 vertical feet of lit night time terrain and the most spring daylight hours in the United States make skiing and snowboarding at Alyeska a unique adventure.
Snow-capped mountains, hanging glaciers and dancing northern lights make Alyeska Resort a winter wonderland where adventures abound.
