The Hotel Alyeska

The Hotel Alyeska is a Chateau style property located on Mount Alyeskas ski slopes with ski in/ski out accessibility. The 60 person aerial tram departs directly from the skiers concourse which is attached to the property and travels 2300 feet to the Glacier Express and Seven Glaciers restaurants atop Mount Alyeska. With over 68 world class ski runs non-existent lift lines and spectacular views of the ocean it is easy to see why Mount Alyeska is such a renowned Alaskan destination. Towering trees and glacial fed streams make this valley a spectacular location for hiking biking horseback riding skiing and snowboarding. There are seven glaciers that hang above the Valley including one tucked into Alyeskas own glacial bowl. Guests can view the ocean waterway known as the Turnagain Arm and the Kenai Range of mountains opposite Girdwood valley. Travelers coming from the cruise ship port town of Seward will find Alyeska Resort an easy solution to a pre or post night stay. Though 35 miles south of Anchorage Alyeska Resort is an easy drive with unlimited picture stops along the scenic Seward Highway which has an All American Highway designation. National Geographic Magazine calls it one of the top ten drives in North America. The Prince William Sound port of Whittier is nearby as is the Portage Glacier and Chugach National Park Interpretative Center.
