Lake Tahoe holidays - Vibrant, active and fun-loving

Take to the water and enjoy Lake Tahoe's outdoor playground

Lake Tahoe is a great destination throughout the year, with the summer offering up mild climates and winter being perfect for skiing and ice skating thanks to the thick snowfall. Whatever type of outdoor activity you fancy trying, you’re bound to find it here. There are lake cruises, hiking trails, motorboat rentals, kayaking and skiing, as well as classic camping for those who simply want to get back to nature. You can also combine a stop at Lake Tahoe with some other Californian destinations, as part of a multi-centre or escorted tour.

North Lake Tahoe and South Lake Tahoe collectively provide the best of both worlds for any holiday at any time of year when travelling to the west coast of the USA. Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America, with its clear water surrounded by the high Sierra Nevada. Stunning landscapes, stately groves of pines, and gorgeous sunsets are hallmarks of the area. Summer at Lake Tahoe offers activities which include outstanding fishing, challenging golf courses and spectacular hiking. From mountain biking to a day on the beaches – Lake Tahoe is as good a summer destination as the skiing offered during the winter months.
