Winter Is Wonderful In Tahoe

From majestic lake views and mountaintops blanketed with pure white snow to local dining and charming community culture, winter is the perfect time to awaken your soul in Tahoe.

A one-of-a-kind experience, across 12 unique towns, awaits. In the heart of it all, you'’ll find Granlibakken Tahoe resort, home to Tahoe's most family-friendly ski hill. Here, you can ski and snowboard right at the resort on our ski and boarding hill - or take a private or family ski or board lesson. You can also rent cross-country skis or snowshoes and head out to explore our 74-acre resort and surrounding national forest.

Our resort is located in the epicenter of North Lake Tahoe's incredible selection of major ski areas. Granlibakken Tahoe is the ideal place to stay when you want to enjoy a different mountain each day of your time in Tahoe... SugarBowl, Boreal, Donner Ski Ranch, Northstar, Palisades Tahoe, Diamond Peak, and nordic skiing at Royal Gorge and Tahoe XC.

Your safety is important to us! If you or anyone traveling to Tahoe with you plans to ski or snowboard, please review the interactive Ski California Mountain Safety Guide to keep you safe in the snow.
