The community of Valdez is often referred to as the “Switzerland of Alaska” because the mountains surround the town in 360 degrees and raise straight from the sea. Many travelers choose to add Valdez as a destination to visit because of the amazing activities and attractions in the community. But once they are here they stay longer simply due to the warm welcome they receive from the residents.
