Seven Glaciers is a four diamond, fine dining restaurant located in Girdwood, Alaska.
This unique restaurant is actually situated on the top of Mount Alyeska, which is over 2,300 feet high up in the air! The restaurant got its name from the amazing views you have from your seat inside. There are over seven hanging glaciers in the nearby mountain range that you can gaze upon as you have your dinner!
Seven Glaciers is unique in that the only way you can arrive is by aerial tram!
This is magical, and the views up to the top are incredible! The ride isn't too long, just enough time for you to grab some great pictures of the surrounding mountains and valley before you arrive at the top!
