Palisades Tahoe Gondola

For those familiar with the things to do in Palisades Tahoe, you likely have visions of gondola rides whisking you away up the mountain to reach the steep, thrilling runs. The gondola is more than a means of reaching the starting point for the ski runs; riders of all ages also enjoy partaking in this fun activity. From the departure point at the base of the mountain at the Village at Palisades Tahoe, riders take a seven-minute journey upwards and marvel at the views as they climb higher over the valley. Riding the Aerial Tram is the go-to way to access High Camp, a spot of recreation, delicious food and drinks and breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe.
