South Tahoe is much more than a tourist destination. It’s a place to experience the natural wonders situated in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Neighborhoods are split between California and Nevada since Lake Tahoe borders the two states. South Lake Tahoe and Meyers are in California, while Stateline, Kingsbury, and Zephyr Cove are in Nevada.
Located in El Dorado County, California, South Tahoe exposes you to the historic lake and picturesque mountains. Whether you want to hit the beach or hit the slopes, there’s something exciting to do any time of year. A nature lover will love everything that Tahoe Summit Village has to offer. It’s easy to take advantage of a variety of outdoor recreation when you stay at the Tahoe Summit. Hiking, biking, and boating are all at your disposal! If you’re feeling a little rugged, there are even camping facilities in the region to spice up your trip.
Three ski resorts are located in the region—Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe® Resort, and Heavenly. Heavenly is the largest resort, providing over 4,800 acres of snow. There are 95 runs and 20% of the ski terrain is for beginners. The area receives close to 300 days of sunshine each year, so it attracts those who like clear skies and a bit of warmth to complement the brisk mountain air. Skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is so special because you have a view of the largest freshwater lake in North America.
The Ice Arena allows visitors to experience other types of winter sport fun. It is a state-of-the-art ice skating facility with a snack bar, locker room, arcade and party rooms. Don’t be discouraged if you’re new to winter sports. Whether you want to ice skate, ski, or snowboard, there are many places to schedule a lesson while on your vacation.
If casinos come to mind when you think of Nevada, look no further than the John Ascuagas Nugget Resort Casino. You’re just a short drive away from world-class gaming when you stay in South Tahoe.
