Welcome to Fairbanks, Alaska!
Imagine taking a trip inside a snow globe . . .
Fairbanks is truly a traveler’s snowy paradise! See the captivating light of the aurora borealis, frolic in a playground made of ice and experience the exhilarating sport of dog mushing. Winter’s white mantle brings a multitude of activities, celebrations and sporting events.
Snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice fishing, skiing, ice skating, curling and ice hockey abound. Challenge the snow-capped hills or birch-laden trails, mush a team of huskies across the wilderness and see two-ton blocks of ice being turned into works of art.
Journey above the Arctic Circle, visit Santa in North Pole or discover the warmth of an Alaska hot spring at the end of an adventure-filled day.
