Alyeska Aerial Tram, Alaska, United States

4.5 (1.438 reviews) Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent Ranking #7 in Alaska Trams

Breathtaking views of Aleyska and Bryon Glacier along with 5 other glaciers.

The Alyeska Aerial Tram is a three-to-seven minute scenic ride from The Hotel Alyeska to 2,300 ft in elevation and the top of Mt. Alyeska. From the Tram, you can see for miles in all directions – including views of the Turnagain Arm, up to seven “hanging” glaciers, and endless peaks deep into the Chugach Mountain range. Don’t forget to look down! In the summer months, moose and bear sightings are common on our aerial tram rides, too. At the Mountain Station, there is an observation deck providing even more breath-taking panoramic views of majestic mountains, hanging glaciers, sparkling streams, towering spruce, and an array of wildlife. Conde Nast Traveler rated Alyeska ~ "Best view of any U.S. ski resort." The observation deck is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed lunch or a beautiful evening sunset. Telescopes are also available along the deck.

Pricey 4 min trip
Pricey 4 1/2 minute ride up the hill but we had to check it out. It’s been raining and we are leaving so had to do it in rain. The ride operator was nice talkative guy with good personality. There are 2 restaurants up top: one is a high priced fufu restaurant (Seven Glaciers) and another with a small casual menu (Bore Tide). There is a small gift shop but just tourist stuff. If you know what to expect then it’s worth the trip.

Nice diversion, but skip the deli
The tram is fun and the views good, but it’s expensive for a 4.5 minute ride. It’s a one and done for me. One of the ticket options is pay $12 for $20 worth of food in the deli. The $8 savings are not worth it. Restaurant was disorganized and they were obviously training first day people during the busiest time of day. And the food was very mediocre.
