Nestled against the awe-inspiring Chugach Mountains, Alyeska offers year-round adventures and activities. Alyeska is located in the town of Girdwood, part of the Municipality of Anchorage.<\/p>\n<p>Alyeska Resort sits in the heart of Girdwood, a glacier carved valley. To the west and north, the mountains of the Chugach State Park provide a stunning backdrop over Alyeska. At 495,000 acres, it is the third largest state park in the US.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Alyeska Resort is an established ski destination known for its steep terrain and deep snowpack. With expansive mountain and ocean inlet views at your fingertips, Alyeska boasts an average 643&#8243; of annual snowfall at the summit. In 2006, the new ownership installed snow making capabilities from top-to-bottom ensuring a timely opening. Other mountain improvements include a new high-speed quad chairlift accessing beginner terrain, two magic carpets, and RFID gates.<\/p>\n<p>The valley floor offers trail systems for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and dog-sledding. For avid skiers and riders, Chugach Powder Guides operates both heli-skiing and cat-skiing operations from the resort.<\/p>\n<p>The summer season brings about a multitude of recreational adventures including hiking and biking right from the hotel and throughout Girdwood Valley. Taking a scenic aerial Tram ride is a favorite among visitors of all ages and abilities. Visitors can also choose to paraglide from the Upper Tram Terminal or take a guided glacier hike. Plus, flightseeing adventures, glacier dog-sledding, and guided ice climbing are all nearby<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;\">Alyeska Resort &#038; The Hotel Alyeska<\/span><span style=\"color: navy;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alyeskaresort.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.alyeskaresort.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"visibility: hidden; display: inline;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located along the scenic Seward Highway, Alyeska Resort is the premier destination in Alaska for visitors and locals alike.
