The Alyeska
Resort Aerial Tramway is a
seven-minute ride to a viewing deck
with breathtaking panoramic views
of mountains, hanging glaciers, streams,
spruce, and an array of wildlife.
Enjoy a relaxed midday picnic or
beautiful evening sunset on Mt. Alyeska's
observation deck, 2,300 feet above
sea level. Telescopes on the Glacier
Terminal viewing deck intensify what
Conde Nast Traveler Magazine rated
the best view of any U.S. ski resort.
Enjoy hiking, exploring, berry picking,
and paragliding, and even hike on
the glacier.
Though run at full speed
during the winter, the tram is operated
at half speed in summer, allowing
ample time to enjoy the natural
beauty of Alyeska Resort. The tram
operates two cars on a counterweight
system-as one cable car goes up
the other cable car comes down.
