The encircling mountains and thundering waterfalls give this
tiny town the moniker of the ‘Switzerland of Alaska’. Witness three glaciers
— Valdez, Columbia, Worthington — as they spill their loads of ice directly
into super-scenic Prince William Sound. Walk trails that disappear into lush
forests; paddle alongside Puffins; go with the flow whilst rafting the chalky
blue Lowe River, Valdez has it all. Bears, Bald Eagles, Trumpeter Swans, even
Rufous Hummingbirds flock here from as far away as Mexico.
