If you want an easy way to take in some of the best views in Lake Tahoe, the Heavenly Gondola at Heavenly Village is awesome. You ride the scenic lift up the mountain and get amazing panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains along the way. Once at the top, there’s an observation deck with gorgeous views, making it a great photo spot.

If you don’t ski, it’s a great way to see the views from the base of Heavenly Mountain. When you’re done, you can grab a drink or snack in Heavenly Village and soak up the apres vibe.

Full disclosure, tickets are pricey at $104 each, and while the views are stunning, you can also catch free views from many of the hikes mentioned in this guide. If you have the Epic Pass, the gondola ride is included.
