A day ticket unlocks a full alpine adventure—high-energy laps, skill-building trails, and a setting that’s impossible to replicate anywhere else in North America.

Set high in the rugged Chugach Mountains above Girdwood — just 45 minutes from Anchorage — the Alyeska Bike Park delivers a true Alaska riding experience unlike anywhere else in North America. With sweeping views of glacier-covered peaks and the waters of Turnagain Arm, every lap combines big-mountain scenery with a mix of flow, technical terrain, and raw natural riding.

Alyeska offers terrain for every type of rider, from first-time downhill bikers and families looking for scenic progression trails to experienced riders chasing steep, technical descents and advanced freeride features. Riders can ease into the sport on approachable green and blue flow trails, while more advanced terrain delivers roots, rocks, tight turns, fast fall-line sections, and rugged Alaska-style riding that keeps even expert riders engaged top to bottom.

The park’s growing trail network includes everything from smooth machine-built flow to natural singletrack and technical descents, creating an experience that feels equally welcoming and adventurous. Whether you’re introducing the family to lift-access mountain biking or hunting for big vertical and challenging terrain, Alyeska has trails to match every skill level.

To make getting on the mountain easy, Alyeska also offers a premium rental fleet featuring top-of-the-line Kona and Trek mountain bikes, along with helmets, pads, and protective gear available to rent on-site. Riders can show up ready to ride with everything needed for a full day in the bike park.
