Girdwood, Alaska is where adventure seekers go to play.

Girdwood is just 36 miles south of Anchorage or a 35 minute drive on the Turnagain Arm Shuttle. Girdwood is a small ski resort town that sits in a tempered rain forest. It is surrounded by the Chugach Mountain Range with peaks soaring upwards of 6,000 feet. Girdwood is definitely the place to seek adventure. It is an active community offering biking, skiing, rafting, fishing, hiking, gold panning and sightseeing in a beautiful, northern rainforest setting. Glacier Valley is home to Alaska’s only major ski resort, Alyeska Resort. Visitors to the resort enjoy taking the Tram up the mountain and hiking the highlands of the mountain. We encourage visitors to visit the resort and check in with the concierge for more information on tours and area attractions.

Girdwood is an excellent place to visit while you use Anchorage as a jump of point to enjoy tours either north or south of the area. At the Turnagain Arm Shuttle we will not hesitate to encourage you to travel south to view the most awesome landscape of the Turnagain Arm. It will take your breath away! The Turnagain Arm drive to Girdwood/Alyeska is so spectacular and jaw dropping that we will definitely tell you that if you miss seeing the Turnagain Arm and Girdwood, you have definitely missed Alaska!

The Shuttle has convenient hourly departures from Anchorage to Girdwood and back. And if you book an excursion in Girdwood ask your vendor to give you a code to get substantial discounts on the Turnagain Arm Shuttle. We are always happy to partner with vendors in Girdwood and help them pass a savings on to you.

Girdwood has so many adventures it may take you two days to see it all. So please do your homework and make sure you do not miss out. Take a look at the town’s local brochure for more information just click here.
