Reducing Anchorage to igloos and Eskimos would be a mistake. With its slogan “Live Big Wild”, Anchorage offers a rich and unique combination of wilderness and modern urban life. It offers plenty of city activities — restaurants, shops, museums — alongside a life firmly turned toward nature.
10,946 hectares of municipal parks and 400 km² of green spaces connect the city to the surrounding wilderness: prepare for a breath of fresh air! It's not unusual to spot bears, grizzlies or moose in the surrounding area. Here you'll find a wide range of outdoor excursions and activities through glaciers, fjords, mountains, valleys, as well as active and dormant volcanoes. In Anchorage, nature is only a step away: don't hesitate, go discover its striking landscapes and abundant wildlife!
