Why Wasilla is Your Perfect Adventure Base
Gateway to Alaska's Greatest

your launching pad for authentic Alaska experiences. Nestled in the
heart of the Mat-Su Valley with the majestic Chugach Mountains as
your backdrop, you'll have unmatched access to world-class fishing

best hunting grounds. In winter, embrace the Iditarod spirit in the

snowmachining, and Northern Lights viewing right outside your
door.
Year-Round Outdoor
Paradise From summer salmon runs to winter aurora
displays, Wasilla offers four distinct seasons of adventure. The
Mat-Su Valley provides the perfect balance – close enough to
Anchorage for convenience (45 minutes),yet surrounded by pristine
wilderness where moose wander through neighborhoods and eagles soar
overhead.
