Alpine Meadows

Just a few minutes north of the conveniences of Tahoe City and south of Truckee, Alpine Meadows is a long up sloping canyon at the top of which is the popular Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. Enjoy this serene setting where aspens, colorful maple trees, and large pine trees and firs provide a scenic backdrop against the mountains for some moderate to very elegant custom homes. Alpine Meadows Ski Resort (now Palisades Tahoe) is family oriented, smaller than Olympic Valley and Northstar, and provides skiers and boarders with plenty of snow (400+ average annual snowfall each year) and moderate groomed runs as well as off piste challenging terrain.

A horse stable for boarding or renting horses is available during the summer months near the entrance to the canyon. In summer visitors can access many trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. There is a small park with a swimming pond available for summer activities. Alpine is very close to the Truckee River for fly fishing, kayaking or walking or biking on the paved bike path along the river to Tahoe City.
