Halfway between Truckee and Tahoe City on Highway 89, Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw) is famous for its legendary terrain and ski culture, dating back to the 1960 Winter Olympics. The Ikon Pass resort spans 3,600 acres across six peaks and is open year-round. The Village at Palisades Tahoe, with its charming stone walkways and European-style atmosphere, offers shops, weekly events, and a variety of dining and après options, including The Chalet, The Auld Dubliner, and the Rocker.

Palisades Tahoe isn’t just for winter—summer and fall bring plenty of activities too, from mountain biking and festivals to the Via Ferrata and more.
