Basecamp for Lake Tahoe
Palisades Tahoe is the beating heart of Lake Tahoe adventure. Plan your trip with us today.
One of the best ways to see the Lake Tahoe region and the surrounding mountains is from one of our three enclosed lifts. Palisades Tahoe has the unique position of having a Gondola, an Aerial Tram, and a Funitel, and you can ride all three of them when you visit us. Our Sightseeing Package gives you all-day unlimited access to ride these three lifts as much as you want. If you’re not in the mood to ski or snowboard, or you’re looking for a different perspective on how to enjoy Palisades Tahoe, we’ve got the perfect itinerary crafted for you:
This summer, we will be replacing the haul rope on the Funitel. The haul rope is the main cable you see carrying cabins to and from the upper mountain. This project has been scheduled for over two years: it is a major and necessary maintenance project that requires significant advance planning. Crews from the lift manufacturer will be coming from Europe to assist with this project as well. We’ll be posting updates to this blog each time something exciting happens with this project.

This winter Palisades Tahoe will become the first ski resort in North America that is home to an aerial tramway, a funitel, and a gondola. Why do these lifts have different names? In the past, you might’ve heard the Funitel or the Aerial Tram referred to as a “gondola”, but technically, neither of them is a gondola. What makes a gondola a gondola? In short, these three lifts have fundamentally different constructions and capacities.
