If you are truly looking to get away from it all, Hatcher Pass Lodge is a great option for stunning solitude in the wintertime. Located in Hatcher Pass, Palmer, this stunning little lodge offers a warm, dry place to sleep in between days of the best winter sports you can think of!
Hatcher Pass is a gorgeous glacier-sculpted valley in the Talkeetna Mountains in Palmer, Alaska.
The lodge sits at 3,000 feet, and you are greeted by 360 degrees of gorgeous mountain and ocean views. The surrounding area is filled with fun winter activities to do.
This area can count on almost seven months of solid, snow filled winters.
Even though it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, there are still groomed ski trails all over the nearby slopes. Some trails are as high as 4,000 feet in the Gold Cord Bowl!

There's so much to do, and it's all right outside your doorstep.
If downhill, backcountry skiing or snowboarding isn't your style, bring along a sled or your favorite snow shoes. The area is packed with fresh powder often, and there are plenty of great places to hike to. The Independence Mine State Park is a quick hike from your cabin!
You can rent all of the cabins together for a combined thirty guests. With all of your friends and family, this could be an incredible weekend away in the mountains!
The main lodge is a great gathering place for people hanging out in the pass, regardless of whether or not you're staying at the lodge.
There's also a restaurant where you can order big bowls of hot soup. Take a look at the menu, and fill up on pizzas, hearty sandwiches, and tasty appetizers.
If you're looking for a weekend filled with snow-filled fun, put Hatcher Pass Lodge on your to-do list.
It's a fabulous way to get away from the business of everyday life and soak up the solitude in the Talkeetna Mountains. Bring the whole family and enjoy a vacation into the best Alaska has to offer!
