Tahoe's Top 10 Attractions
by Elisabeth Korb
While Lake Tahoe itself is the Basin’s number one attraction, there is plenty else to see and do this
winter. Here are our top 10, starting on the North Shore in Incline Village and heading clockwise around the Lake,
then up to Truckee.
Welcome to Tahoe
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime Tahoe fan, let us help you make the most of your stay. Although it’s hard to take your eyes off The Lake’s stunning scenery, a read through this issue of Lake Tahoe Traveler will provide you with a
mountain of insiders’ advice for local winter fun.
With North America’s largest concentration of
ski resorts, plenty of powder and an average of 274 sunny days a year, plus fantastic cross-country, snowshoe and sledding options to boot, the Northern Sierra makes it hard to head indoors. But when you do, great restaurants, casinos, shops
and spas await.

Although the snow may be nearly gone, don't expect Tahoe's ski resorts to roll up their sidewalks. In fact, with plenty of shopping, dining, activities and events, summer is one of the most exciting times to visit.
Farmers Markets
During summer months in the Sierra, connect with good food and good folks at any of Tahoe's weekly farmers markets. Each market has a slightly different character, and caters to everyone from visitors looking for fresh produce to local chefs hunting for additions to their nightly menus.
