This seemingly German inspired resort did not disappoint. Nestled against the forest and green, rugged mountains, the hotel and grounds were exceptional. The summer season offered us the chance to rent fat-tired mountain bikes for a killer deal and enjoy the Nordic Ski loop of trails up nearby and in the trees. It was an activity more catered to moderate or skilled riders to make it up the trail hills...but we also biked around all of Girdwood and took in extraordinary views and ate locally in town. One could also go on foot everywhere too.
The resort also had a sunset concert on mountaintop that was accessible via tram. Overall, we can t wait to return but next time in winter to experience the slopes and the beautiful pool and spa (only available to guests or by purchasing a spa service).
