About Heavenly

A striking ski resort on the California-Nevada border in South Lake Tahoe, Heavenly is a brilliant destination for keen adventurers of all ages. The dramatic Sierra Nevada Mountains promise spectacular views and challenging runs for skiers, snowboarders and intrepid trekkers, whilst idyllic Lake Tahoe is a wonderful watersports haven. Accommodation options range from simple inns to indulgent mountain lodges, with the best places to stay in Heavenly boasting spas, swimming pools and even a private golf course.

Scattered across both sides of the state border, Heavenly’s hottest spots are geared towards skiing in the snowy winter and outdoorsy exploring during the summer. Spend your days kayaking, rafting, sailing and swimming, or play tennis and golf in the warmer months. There are also a plethora of trails for mountain bikers, hikers and wildlife spotters to follow through towering forests of pine trees. Unwind in the spa after big days of discovery, or enjoy tours and tastings at nearby breweries.

Heavenly’s main attraction is undoubtedly the ski resort, which boasts a broad range of runs ideal for beginners, intermediate skiers and experienced winter sports enthusiasts. This is a terrific place to learn to ski, and it’s hugely popular with families — who are well catered for at many of the best places to stay in Heavenly.
