Lake Tahoe is a unique location for a vacation and the hotels in Lake Tahoe add flavor to an unforgettable experience. The city of Lake Tahoe is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at an altitude of over 6000 feet. The town is unusual in the sense that the city limits extend between both California and Nevada, providing many activities that other towns cannot offer. Another point of interest is Emerald Lake, which is the largest mountainous lake on the continent of North America.

The outdoor experience while staying at a hotel in Lake Tahoe

On the California side, there are three main lifts that provide skiing excitement during the winter months. The ski lifts are Heavenly, Squaw Valley and North Star. The ski lift of Heavenly is conveniently located right in the heart of Lake Tahoe, just minutes from the hotels in Lake Tahoe. Summer outings include hiking trails, as the lifts remain open during the summer months.

Emerald Lake is aptly named for its shade of green, offering color and summer fun to the area. Water skiing, boating and swimming are some of the activities that create a unique experience for those who stay at a hotel in Lake Tahoe.
