Located just 40 miles south of the Anchorage Airport along the scenic Seward Highway. 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 facility 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. Every guestroom has a view. There are seven glaciers that hang above the hotel 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.
