Winter Adventures

Winter is magical in Alaska. And, as Alaska’s premier ski destination, Alyeska Resort is at the heart of winter adventures for all ages and levels. Beyond the slopes, the fun doesn’t stop. The Resort and surrounding areas offer a variety of outdoor options for the athlete, nature lover and sightseer alike.

The sky is the limit when you take advantage of guided heli-skiing or flightseeing trips. Be sure to take in unique Alaskan experiences including dog sled outings, ice climbing clinics, and glacier snowmobile tours. Southcentral Alaska is known for its extensive Nordic trail system, and endless cross-country skiing excursions can be found in the surrounding Chugach State Park.

Winter fun we love: 

• Ride the scenic tram to the top and visit the Round House Museum (free admission). Enjoy incredible views of the surrounding mountains and Turnagain Arm.
• Rent snow shoes or cross country skis and head out onto one of the many trails in the surrounding area where amazing views are everywhere! Go on your own or take a guided half-day tour.
• Take a scenic helicopter ride for magnificent glacier views. Tours include stops on the glacier or simply fly over the heavily glaciated waters of Prince William Sound.
• Dog sled with an authentic Iditarod team and explore the area.
• Snowmobile through a winter wonderland of snow-filled meadows with endless scenic views. Perfect for kids and adults of all abilities.

Our Concierge team has put together a list of recommended winter activities. Take a look and start your planning!
