Fat tire biking will put a smile on your face and make you feel like a kid again!
Experience the fat bike phenomenon where it was born. Fat tire biking has become one of the most popular ways for locals and visitors to get out and play in the snow.
Anchorage boasts 150 miles of multi-use forested trails in the winter. This tour aims to show you the best of them. There are plenty of stops, stories, and photo opportunities along the way too, so don’t forget your camera!
Does your group have varying fitness levels? Upgrade to an electric-assisted fat bike and go faster and farther with friends and family. This is also a great solution for the other half who doesn’t own padded biking shorts.
The key to fat bike comfort is a warm head, feet, and hands. At Alaska Trail Guides, we provide pogies, hand warmers, and insulated overboots for these contact points, so you’ll be ready for miles of riding! Just come dressed in layers (non-cotton), like you are going out skiing.
The length of the trip may vary based on conditions.
My daughter and I signed up for the Fat Bike Tour in Anchorage and we're so glad we picked this company. As novices, we were interested in a basic... read more introduction to the sport and Alaska Trail Guides really delivered for us. We met our guides, Elly and Frankie, in the parking lot at Bicentennial Park and spent two hours on the trails. As it turned out, this tour gave us everything we hoped for as we tested our balance on the single track, negotiated bridges and pedaled up and down some gentle hills. The bikes were in tip top shape and Elly was very knowledgeable about fat biking, the equipment and the network of trails around Anchorage. There were plenty of highlights including a moose and calf, a dog sled race, and mountain vistas. We are both hooked on fat biking and look forward to exploring more trails this winter.
We have two teenagers one with Down syndrome. We were all able to enjoy this trail ride. The trail is paved (absolutely no traffic it’s paved through woods)... read more and flat and goes a long way (we did not get through half of it) You ride as far as you like and then head back. We saw a moose and a mooseling too. Guides handle all bikes and equipment so it was easy and very doable for any level of biker!! Huge thanks to Frankie and Elie for making this happen for our family!
I highly recommend taking this tour!
We saw a moose along the trail and stopped for photos (I got video too because he was eating). I'm so... read more glad I got to see one in the wild. It was the highlight of my trip.
We had 2 guides, Ellie who led the group and Stephanie who rode in the back with me. It had been about 30 years since I had ridden (FYI- practice biking before you go if you are rusty at it so you don't embarrass yourself...yup...I embarrassed myself!).
Stephanie was helpful, encouraging, and extremely patient. I really appreciated her staying behind and letting me know what was coming up on the trail such as curves and slopes.
Ellie stopped at various points along the way. As our guide, she shared information about Alaska that was really interesting. Both of these wonderful woman are first class. If you do anything while in Anchorage, this needs to be on your list!
This was an excellent tour. the guides know the area and are happy to share their knowledge. It is an easy ride and very safe for even a novice rider.
Frankie and Elly took me on a Kincaid Park adventure, where we did a little single track, got a little muddy and even saw a moose. Everything I wanted in... read more my first biking experience in Alaska. They are fun to be around and knowledgeable of bikes and the area. They will ride at your pace and just want you to have the best bike riding experience. My next trip to Alaska, I plan to book the glacier bike riding tour. I can’t wait.
I was unsure of how this tour was going to pan out due to the weather. We had some light rain showers in the morning - but nothing a rain... read more jacket couldn't fix! The clouds broke free and we had a wonderful day! This tour was so fun, offering lovely views and great commentary. Our guide was super informational and friendly. This is a great tour for a family, or anyone who enjoys riding bikes!
Elly was an awesome guide. She took us along a beautiful trail and provided interesting information about the state and it’s economy & history at the same time. She was... read more very upbeat & approachable. She also spotted a mama and a baby moose - the baby only 10 feet off the trail - and kept us safe while we enjoyed an extra long stop to watch the moose eating (while mama watched from the bushes). Would definitely recommend.
