About Heavenly
Heavenly Ski Resort, as its name suggests, provides a divine skiing experience, bolstered by breathtaking scenic beauty and a diverse range of activities. The resort is characterized by its great runs which are not overcrowded, providing an enjoyable and relaxed skiing experience. The Gondola ride to the top adds a touch of charm and offers a magnificent view of the surroundings.

The Heavenly Gondola operates during both summertime and winter, offering adventures year-round. It features an observation deck at the halfway point, providing a stunning view of Lake Tahoe. The resort also hosts a café and a souvenir gift shop for visitors to enjoy. The resort offers various activities during the summer, including gemstone panning, rock climbing, zip lining, tubing, the Ridge Rider Mountain Coaster, and hiking.
