Check out our favorite winter time activities below!
Rent Snowshoes & explore the trails
Explore Tahoe’s quieter side on a snowshoe adventure. Local outfitters like Lake Tahoe Adventures and Clearly Tahoe offer guided tours through peaceful forests and open meadows. It’s a great way to soak in the stillness of the Sierra in winter.
Snow Tubing at Tube Tahoe
Bring the whole crew and hit Tube Tahoe in Meyers for some classic winter fun. With multiple groomed lanes, mountain views, and easy access right off Highway 50, it’s perfect for anyone looking to laugh their way down the hill.
Check Out Cuppa Tahoe
When you’re ready to slow down, head to Cuppa Tahoe, a local gem that’s part café, part bookstore, and all-around cozy. Grab a latte or hot chocolate, browse their shelves for your next good read, and warm up by the fire. It’s a great spot to unwind and soak in the calm side of winter in Tahoe.
Find Live Music Around Town
Winter nights in South Lake are lively and local. Catch a show at McP’s Taphouse, South of North Brewing, or Harrah’s Center Stage. Many nights feature live bands, good beer, and a cozy fire pit crowd.
Hit the Slopes!
Whether you’re carving fresh corduroy at Heavenly, chasing powder at Kirkwood, or cruising the friendly slopes at Sierra-at-Tahoe, there’s no shortage of world-class terrain here. Bonus: the Heavenly Gondola gives you one of the best lake views in the world.
Go on a Snowmobile Tour
If you want speed with your scenery, book a snowmobile tour with Zephyr Cove Resort or Lake Tahoe Adventures. Ride through alpine meadows and ridge tops with panoramic views of the lake—it’s exhilarating and unforgettable.
Pack a Thermos & Catch a Sunset at Nevada Beach
Sometimes the simplest Tahoe moments are the best. Bundle up, pour some hot chocolate (or mulled wine), and watch the sky light up in pinks and purples over the lake. Our favorite beaches are El Dorado Beach, Pope Beach, and Nevada Beach.
Ice Skating!
Lace up your skates and glide beneath the twinkle lights at the Heavenly Village Ice Rink. Afterward, grab a hot chocolate or cocktail at one of the nearby bars and warm up by the outdoor fire pits.
