The High Camp Experience
At Olympic Valley
Surrounded with sun-drenched views of Lake Tahoe, a mountaintop playground, and the freedom to roam at 8,200’, the High Camp Experience is as much a stunning backdrop for nature lovers as it is an easy escape for mountain explorers.
It All Starts Here
Climb over 2,000 feet with a bird's-eye-view of Lake Tahoe's high alpine region.
The gateway to High Camp starts in The Village at Palisades Tahoe, where you'll embark on a 10-minute tram ride and soar above a mountainscape of creeks, waterfalls, forests, granite rock, and the iconic Tram Face. With 360 views and panoramic vistas of Lake Tahoe and an interpretive guide at the helm, your summer at Olympic Valley comes to life before you even reach the top.
