Culture and heritage
Sitka National Historical Park
Sitka National Historical Park combines coastal forest, totem-lined trail and the memory of the battle between the Tlingit Kiksadi and Russian forces. The route runs along the Indian River under the spruce trees, with sculptures that are not mere ornaments: they carry lines, stories and symbols to read slowly.
Culture and heritage
St. Michael's Cathedral
At Lincoln Street and Maksoutoff Street, St. Michael's Cathedral recalls the time when Sitka was the capital of Russian America. Its Orthodox architecture, icons and liturgical objects give a very concrete face to this heritage, in the heart of a city where Tlingit, Russian and American influences still overlap.
Culture and heritage
Fortress of the Bear
Fortress of the Bear The visit focuses on close observation of animals, their behaviour, their feeding and sometimes sensitive issues of cohabitation between and among orphaned bears in former industrial basins that have been transformed into shelters. Sitka, forest and wildlife.
Nature and panorama
Mount Edgecumbe
Visible since Sitka in clear weather, the Mount Edgecumbe Draws a clear volcanic cone over Kruzof Island. Its isolated silhouette, laid between sea, forests and low clouds, marks the horizon of the city and attracts especially hikers ready to devote a long day to an exposed Alaskien terrain.
