View the splendor of Turnagain Arm and the Chugach Range from the top of Mt. Alyeska. Located 45 miles south of Anchorage at the Hotel Alyeska, the seven-minute aerial tram ride will take you 2,300 feet above the valley floor to the Glacier Tram Terminal. Facilities on the upper mountain include the Glacier Express Cafe, restrooms, observation platform, and the four-star Seven Glaciers fine dining experience. The Alyeska Tramway, designed by Von Roll Tramways, Inc. of Switzerland, operates two cars on a counterweight system - as one car goes up the other car comes down. During the Summer season, the Tram is operated at half speed, allowing ample time to enjoy the natural beauty of Alyeska.

What To Wear
Due to unpredictable Alaskan weather, we advise dressing in layers, which will allow you to stay warm and dry as the outdoor environment changes. For this event, please also bring comfortable walking shoes and a jacket that can shield you from light wind or rain. Don't forget you camera and binoculars for the many photo opportunities along the way.
