Welcome to

North Lake Tahoe

Straddling the border of California and Nevada, North Lake Tahoe is a spectacular alpine destination in the Sierra Nevada high country. With towering granite peaks surrounding a massive, clear freshwater basin, visitors travel here year-round for high-energy recreation and quiet mountain relaxation.

A renowned ski destination, North Lake Tahoe transforms into a haven for winter enthusiasts. With more than twenty world-class ski resorts surrounding Lake Tahoe, snow-capped ponderosa pines make for a winter wonderland for skiers and snowboarders. Beyond its renowned skiing facilities, there are plenty of snowy activities waiting to be explored, including snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice skating.

Not just a winter paradise, Lake Tahoe is famous for its crystal clear alpine water and is a top destination for summer outdoor enthusiasts and ideal for swimming, boating, and paddleboarding. Venture beyond Kings Beach for challenging hiking trails, adrenaline-pumping mountain biking routes, and scenic spots tailormade for picnics.

The region’s history runs as deep as the lake - which happens to be the second deepest lake in the U.S. Long before it became a popular vacation spot, the Washoe tribe inhabited the Tahoe basin. Once referred to as “Big Water” by Native Americans, Lake Tahoe stretches 22 miles long and 11 miles wide and is the largest alpine lake in the country. From trappers to loggers, and from a 19th century silver mining boom in nearby Virginia City to the 1960 Winter Olympics, this area has cemented its status through history and as a premier vacation destination.

Located about 4 hours from San Francisco, what sets North Lake Tahoe apart is its rustic outdoorsy appeal along with its commitment to sustainability. This innate beauty highlights where adventure meets serenity, ensuring a memorable getaway for all.
