Wintertime is when Anchorage shines. Trails and parks invite runners and fat tire bikers, while nearby snowy mountains offer skiing and snowboarding. Lively events and a dynamic dining scene fill the city with festive cheer and cozy vibes. Just beyond downtown, tall glaciers make it easy to experience more unforgettable sights. And as night falls, look up for the iconic aurora, painting the sky in shades of green and purple.
