Discover Alyeska Resort Trails
Hey all! Follow us to Alyeska Resort as we reveal new and improved hiking and biking opportunities! Alyeska Resort has made impressive efforts to expand, preserve, and make accessible some of the finest hiking southcentral Alaska has to offer.
The Resorts shares its backyard with the Chugach National Forest, which is the world’s northern-most temperate rainforest. So it shouldn’t surprise you that both Alyeska and the Chugach National Forest share a labor of love in making the trail systems sustainable and accessible.
Local facts: Located in Girdwood, Alaska – Alyeska Resort is approximately 50 miles south from Anchorage. Part of the Chugach mountain range Mt.Alyeska is the biggest ski mountain in the state of Alaska. The ski area was founded in 1954, and its first chair lift and day lodge were opened in 1959. Today, remains a popular destination and Alyeska operates six chair lifts and a the Alyeska tramway, which is a high-speed tram located on the North Face.
All of us here at Alaska HDTV are fans of Mt.Alyeska! The resort brings it all together a perfect mix of rustic atmosphere with a topping of four start treatment. It’s a heck of a playground just minutes from Anchorage, and I’m hoping they’ll have us back for some winter adventures to share!

Hey Scott, was it awesome?! Haha! Just giving you a hard time.
The Girdwood/Alyeska area really is a great place. Especially since it is one of the most beautiful, accessible places right out of Anchorage. It also helps that it has one of the best views of the inlet, from up top.
