It goes without saying that Palisades Tahoe is a destination for every time of the year, but it's also inarguable that the winter months infuse them with energy, natural beauty and no shortage of activities. Palisades Tahoe is known for its long, steep runs, so skiing and snowboarding steal much of the spotlight. There are also spots dedicated cross-country skiing grounds when snow starts covering the ground. The resorts host numerous winter activities that can be enjoyed by guests of all ages, including skating, hot chocolate sipped around the fireside, child-sized snowmobile rides and more all in a winter-wonderland setting.

You love Lake Tahoe, and you feel as if you’ve seen all the sights it has to offer. But as the old saying goes, you ain’t seen nothing yet ... not until you’ve seen it from the air, piloting your own aircraft over the Carson Range and into the Tahoe Basin. With Hang Gliding Tahoe, you fly a powered hang glider (with an FAA-certified instructor along) and enjoy the sight of the lake from an entirely new perspective. The flight can even count for training toward a pilot’s license. Morning flights offer spectacular year-round viewing conditions, and flights can be scheduled for 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Winter flights are warm and cozy with modern-technology heated clothing. Don’t forget to sign up for the photo or video services for a souvenir of the flight that you will treasure forever.
