If you think our mountain biking adventures in Alaska stop when winter sets in, you’re very much mistaken! The fun keeps rolling when the snow flies!
The stars of the show in the snowy winter months are our fat tire bikes. Complete with studded tires, they are kitted out for an exciting and unforgettable experience.

This is an excellent taste of what Anchorage is all about in the winter. Perfect for adventures, families, and those who want to get out and explore our winter wonderland.
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.
Our family had such a good ride with Elly @ Alaska Trail Guides. The ride itself was beautiful, the Chugach State Park is gorgeous. The bikes are so... read more fun to ride. We spotted a moose eating right beside the trail, it was very cool! Elly was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable about the area and patient when we fell just a little behind. She was also prepared with water and snacks. Great ride for families and we highly recommend it!
Very nice leisurely 10 mile bike ride. Nice views along the coast and the guide provided interesting information. The entire trail was paved.
Squeezed this in our last day in Alaska after a cruise. Well worth it - Kincaid Park was awesome - great views on our clear morning and nice paved... read more trail as well. Our guide Ellie was extremely informative about the area and offered great commentary. We were lucky enough to run into a moose and her calf right on the trail - it was thrilling since we hadn’t really seen any up until then. Fantastic ending to our Alaskan adventure!
Awesome adventure. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. We are locals and it was fun to get out and try some new trails and... read more even learn some history of the area. Will definitely recommend!!

My husband was sceptical about us bike riding in Anchorage - firstly - we're in our 60's and secondly - we haven't been on a bike for a few years... read more plus I'm extra cautious and was concerned I'd be pushing the bike rather than riding it. Frankie and Elly put our fears to rest as soon as we met them. A quick shuttle to our starting point, some clear pointers on safety and riding and a few practice loops had me feeling more confident. The 2+hrs of cycling went so fast (even though I didn't). I felt like I reconnected with my young teenage years as we cycled through stunning woods (all on easy paved cycleways), stopped to watch a huge moose with rack to match and learnt how to watch and read the signs they give out regarding their intentions. Thankfully - he just kept eating after a cursory look at us. Great to understand more about the 1964 earthquake and stand and see where the land dropped away. All in all the best time - fun, educational and well worth the investment. Thank you Elly and Frankie for making it such a great morning and giving me the confidence to ride :)
We are real beginners to trail biking and had a wonderful time! Our guide Maggie got us all equipped, comfortable w our bikes, and set w water and snacks. Such... read more a fun activity and beautiful sights and views. Give it a go!
Derrick was a knowledgeable guide who took great care of us. He and the van driver, Ellie, made sure that our bikes and helmets fit, had water bottles, and that... read more we knew how to change gears etc. before we took off. The trails were immaculate, safe, and easy to ride (only one somewhat challenging climb). Derrick made sure we were all good with the speed. There were 10 in our group from wide age range. When we saw a smallish black bear on the trail (doesn’t happen often they said), Derrick had us dismount, remain quiet, put the bike between us and the bear, and then he retrieved his bear spray and was ready to use it. He didn’t need to. The bear calmly meandered over the ridge. Besides that excitement, Derrick stopped frequently to explain about the history, geography, flora and fauna of the area. At the end, after about 9.5 miles, Ellie was there with the van, a snack, and more water. Great ride in a beautiful setting!
The trail is very relaxed and easy to ride (pretty level with one steep hill on paved roads). Tour guide was great! We saw 6 moose (2 cows each with... read more a set of twins). Would definitely do this tour again.
