South Lake Tahoe Timeshare

South Lake Tahoe is the main township of the Lake Tahoe Basin and is probably the biggest tourism draw on the California-Nevada border. Between the lake, the mountains, and the high desert, this locale boasts a strong tourism economy that vacationers can take full advantage of when they buy their South Lake Tahoe timeshare.

The high elevation gives the town cool, sunny summer days which are ideally spent on the water. South Lake Tahoe's beaches have been a family destination in the southwest for generations and you can rent a boat from one of the local businesses or launch your own to spend hours out on the water. Some of the historic mansions surrounding the lake showcase 19th-century charm and are open for tours to the general public.

Also, in the summer months, the cool weather and sunny days make the area a haven for outdoor enthusiasts of all types. The same trails that provide entertainment for winter sports are perfect for hikers, mountain bikers, and bird watchers. Horseback tours along some of the loops have been going on since the 1930s and offer a unique way to catch the views of the lake and city from the mountains.

Incredible Winter Activities

In winter, the daytime activities center on the heavy snowfall blessing this region. The Heavenly Ski Resort operates a gondola in downtown South Lake Tahoe that ferries vacationers up the slopes for days of downhill skiing or snowboarding. Snowmobiles, ice skating, sleigh rides, and other fun activities abound especially on weekends and around the holidays. You can get all the details of how to spend the best time in the snow at your South Lake Tahoe timeshare resort, many of which have options for storing and renting the equipment you will need for days of fun in the snow.

Nor will a trip be complete without visiting the casinos across the state line in Nevada and trying your luck. Many casinos have excellent shows, games, and nightlife if you want to live it up on your vacation. In town, you'll also find many events and shows especially during tourism seasons.

Best Time to Visit

A South Lake Tahoe timeshare is a popular mode of accommodation year-round, depending on which activities you are looking for, but in the summer it becomes packed with outdoor adventurers wanting to spend lazy afternoons by the lake, hike the surrounding trails, and mountain biking. Winter is the second-busiest season when skiers and snowboarders come from around the world to challenge themselves in the surrounding mountains, which can receive snowfalls dumping three feet or more in a single storm. Travel tends to be slightly less common in late spring and fall before the summer holidays begin and also before the snowpack accumulates in the mountains.
