Discover 11 breathtaking and romantic places in Alaska that resemble scenes from a fairy tale.

Some of the most magical places in Alaska are often the most beautiful and the most breathtaking. These places are so unique and gorgeous that it's safe to say they deserve to be in their own story. You can't deny that these romantic and picturesque places provide the perfect setting for a dreamy fairy tale. So without further ado, we bring you 11 places in Alaska that are fascinating and perfect for that dreamy fairy tale.

1) A perfect place to meet Mr. Right... Am I right?

Glacier Creek makes a picturesque backdrop for such a romantic setting.

2) A dreamy winter wonderland.

Snow sure makes everything look like a fairy tale, but this picture captures all the soft blues and purples of a fading sun which make the shot that much more romantic and dreamy. There are so many beautiful places in Alaska, each and every spot is magical.

3) A much colder version of The Little Mermaid?

If I were Ariel I wouldn't mind sprouting some legs so I could walk around the hills of Glacier Bay. Check out the U.S. National Park Service’s website, which tells you more about this beautiful area.

4) Fading into the night.

Another fading sunset that casts a romantic glow over the trees. This would be the perfect setting for Belle's escape scene in Beauty and the Beast.

5) A gentle beauty gliding silently across the water.

Is anyone else thinking The Swan Princess? Come on! There are so many magical scenes all throughout Alaska like this.

6) Dancing lights in Valdez.

Valdez can look daunting and dreamy at the same time. Every fairy tale has a moment of tension and suspense, I'd say this image captures that perfectly. Read more about Valdez’s northern lights on their town website.

7) An ice glacier or a hidden castle?

Burns Glacier looks regal and chilly from the outside but I still think it would make a great setting for a fairy tale. Head to the Chugach National Forest website that tells you more about this glacier, and others in the Portage Valley area that are equally stunning.

8) A dreamy water landscape at the Colville River.

The ripples on the water add a lovely touch to an already gorgeous shot.

9) A beautifully frozen landscape.

I can see this setting land somewhere in a movie like Frozen, can't you? There are so many beautiful places to visit in Alaska, and some are so remote and difficult to visit. But if you can, it’s worth every moment!

10) The calming waters of Lake Betty.

The shores of Lake Betty offer a beautiful backdrop for almost any fairy tale movie.

11) Long distance shot of Adak Island.

Last, but not least, a stunning view of Adak Island and its snowy winter landscape. This shot would be perfect for the dramatic ending to almost any tale. Check out this stunning drone footage of this beautiful, remote island in Alaska.
