Located one half block west of California & Nevada stateline, the Lake Tahoe Gondola is steps from most major lodging facilities. The eight passenger cabins take guests 2.4 miles up the mountain in 12 minutes while they enjoy views of Lake Tahoe. Just when it seems the ride can’t get any better, guests arrive at The Deck, a 14,000 sq foot observation platform. Guests are treated to views of Carson Valley, Desolation Wilderness and shore-to-shore views of Lake Tahoe.
