The Summer Experience
At Palisades Tahoe
Surround yourself with sun-drenched views of Lake Tahoe, a mountaintop playground, and the freedom to roam at 8,200 feet. Start your day in The Village at Palisades Tahoe and finish it at High Camp, which 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 Aerial 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 comes to life before you even reach the top. Kids ride free with the purchase of an Adult ticket! Purchase MUST be made online at least 2 days in advance to qualify.
