FAMILY FUN, MADE EASY
Family-owned and operated since 1946, Sierra-at-Tahoe is known and beloved by families as a place where first turns are made and mountain memories begin. The closest resort to Sacramento and the Bay Area, Sierra-at-Tahoe is where family adventures come to life. Little ones can gain confidence in designed, beginner-friendly zones, while the rest of the crew can chase powder stashes or play in the parks. When it’s time for a break, cozy up in the base area for hot cocoa, live music or simply soaking in the mountain views.

A Menu They’ll Actually Eat
Our menus were designed by people who’ve actually negotiated with a six-year-old. You’ll find the classics kids will actually eat (we’re talking chicken tenders and pizza), plus grown-up food that doesn’t require convincing yourself it’s worth the price. Everything’s quick, casual and judgement-free.
4 + under ski free
Let them play! Kids ages 4 and under ski free at Sierra-at-Tahoe.
