Palisades Tahoe and Alpines Meadows is a world-renowned skiing and snowboarding destination, but did you know there are tons of fun activities that don’t require hitting the slopes? If you’re hesitant to step into a pair of boots, or even if your legs just need a rest after a few days, here are our Top 5 Must-Do Activities – That Aren’t Skiing!

1. Aerial Tram Rides
If you’d like to experience the glory of the mountains without ever putting on ski boots, take the Tram Ride up to High Camp! With gorgeous, sweeping views of Palisades Tahoe and Lake Tahoe, the Aerial Tram is a 10-minute scenic ride that climbs over 2,000 ft., and passes over the iconic Tram Face. Your ride will end at High Camp, 8,200 ft. above sea level, where you can explore the Olympic Museum, full of memorabilia from the 1960 Winter Olympics, or enjoy food and drink specials at the Sunset Happy Hour. Tickets are required and offered on a first come, first served basis, so we do recommend booking your Tram Ride or Sunset Happy Hour in advance.

2. Disco Tubing
Not your grandma’s sledding hill! The fun doesn’t stop at sundown – with colorful LED lights, lasers and live DJs, Disco Tubing is the family-friendly party where you spin down the tubing lanes to music and lights! Open every Saturday from 5-8 PM, weather permitting, and tickets are required.
