Presentazione generale
Girdwood and Turnagain Arm
Fjord subjected to tides, glaciers and humid forest south of Anchorage.
The discovery of Girdwood and Turnagain Arm is centred around Alyeska Resort, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Portage Glacier. The stay thus alternates between the coastline, mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Place indismissible
Alyeska Resort
Alyeska Resort concentrates the Alpine experience of Girdwood, between ski slopes, chugach rainforest and views of Turnagain Arm. In winter, the estate attracts for its abundant snow; out of season, trams, trails and panoramas from the heights give another way to approach the valley.
Culture and heritage
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center hosts bears, wood bison, slender, caribou and other animals that are unable to return easily to wildlife. The large enclosures, placed at the foot of the mountains near Turnagain Arm, make observation simple without giving the impression of an urban zoo; it is also a good family option in unstable times.
Nature and panorama
Portage Glacier
Portage Glacier is discovered in a landscape of cold lake, steep slopes and ice from the Chugach Mountains. Depending on the season and conditions, the approach is through the viewpoints, the Begich Boggs centre or a boat trip to Portage Lake, with a very clear impression of a glacial valley in motion.
Nature and landscape
Beluga Point
Beluga Point is a rocky stop on the Seward Highway, facing the powerful tides of Turnagain Arm and the mountains that close the horizon. The place also bears traces of ancient occupation; today it serves mainly as a gazebo to look at the light on the water, the trains along the shore and, sometimes, the beluga.
