Explore

Explore. No, dig in! Dig in—like there’s no tomorrow–to all that Tahoe South has to offer. Natural scenery that borders on the ridiculously beautiful. World-class resorts with luxury spas and top-notch restaurants.

No matter the season, there are many fun things to do in Lake Tahoe. Summer promises legendary, heart-pounding downhill single track and bike paths for social spins. Hike your heart out. There are beaches with restaurants, with marinas and water toys, that beg for a sunset bbq and secluded ones that whisper-quiet relaxation in the sun. All with views of spectacular Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada’s. Speaking of views, get a bird’s eye view from a paddlewheel boat or a gondola car.

Every good get-away deserves a serious-or not so serious-shopping spree. With a plethora of distinctive gear shops, unique boutiques, and brand basics, you can get it, sport it, wear it, use it while you’re here. And it goes without mentioning (ok, we will anyway), that Tahoe South breeds some heavy-hitting artists and artisans and you’ll find your favorites in galleries galore.

Did someone say history? Check it out, all over the place. From Zephyr Cove Resort, built-in 1900 in response to the Comstock silver mining boom to Camp Richardson Resort offering city-folk a lakefront retreat since 1924, to Vikingsholm Castle, another grand estate of the 1920s, we can tell a story or two about life at the Lake in yesteryear.

You may have to go home to rest but come back for winter. And rest assured that even in winter we don’t roll up the sidewalks at sundown. Ski and ride the real-deal big mountains like Heavenly Mountain Resort, Kirkwood Resort, and Sierra-at-Tahoe, then check out how Tahoe South interprets après ski—it’s a whole new language you’re going to want to learn. On your winter trip, don’t forget to squeeze in sledding, sleigh rides, snowshoeing, snowmobiling or just some sliding around on some ice on some skates.

Of course, you’re young at heart, but what about your young heart kids? Family-friendly is Tahoe South’s middle name, so arcades to helicopters we have a long list and days full for families.
