Girdwood Lodging
Girdwood is only 40 minutes from Anchorage, but feels a world away. This small town bustles during the winter ski season and the summer months thanks to an abundance of trails, scenery, and festivals celebrating its eclectic local vibe. If a step away from the "big city" of Anchorage sounds appealing, or if you would like a stop on the way to or from the Kenai Peninsula, Girdwood is the place to go.
The primary lodging option in Girdwood is the Alyeska Resort. This luxurious property offers mountain scenery from nearly every room and amenities like onsite dining, Nordic spa, and indoor saltwater pool. Don't miss a chance to ride the tram to the top of Mt. Alyeska to take in sweeping views of the Turnagain Arm and seven named glaciers on the surrounding mountaintops.
Girdwood is a popular place for hiking, particularly the Winner Creek Trail.
Girdwood is also known as a community of artisans. Scattered throughout the community are galleries, cafes, and a craft brewery. Additional local activities include a glacier dog sled tour via helicopter. Alaska Tour & Travel can assist guests with reservations for activities in the greater Girdwood area.
The Alaska Railroad Coastal Classic train stops in Girdwood, traveling north to Anchorage or south to Seward. The Park Connection Motorcoach is also a good option for travelers transiting between Denali National Park and Seward, with Girdwood as a selected stop.
