Chena River State Recreation Area Tours and Activities

Very convenient to Alaska railroad depot. Transport from airport and to depot. Friendly, helpful staff.

Definitely recommend this place. I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the free breakfast upon check in too :)

A beautiful location ideal for a short break post cruising from Vancouver to Alaska. There are many much cheaper options in the area but we picked The Alyeska Resort because of the aerial trams, lifts up the slopes and most of all the Fantastic Restaurants at the top - however on arrival we found that the trams and lifts were down for maintenance and the restaurants at the top were closed and all of the walking trails up the mountain were closed. The tram opened on our final day and despite less than perfect weather the view was spectacular, but it needs to be noted that the tram and lifts are expensive, with no concession for staying at the hotel! Clearly we relayed all of this to the hotel but despite a sorry were offered no reduction. I feel that when the major selling points of a resort are not going to be available then this need to be clear prior to booking. In summary we were very disappointed, a sad ending to what had been a wonderful holiday.
