Enjoy a full day of Sledding/Snow Play for 10, including Hot Chocolate at Granlibakken Resort at Lake Tahoe.

The sledding hill, one of just a few at Lake Tahoe that is machine-groomed, is open daily from 9am to 4pm

You can sled all day long down this steep, but not too steep, hill.  It's steep enough to need a helmet; helmets are for rent at Granlibakken's Ski Hut Snack Bar.  The quaint old Tahoe atmosphere is as warm there as their hot chocolate.

Sledding Hill guests are provided with a sled for use during the day.  You can take these saucers down the hill any day of the week, but no tubes, tobaggans or metal sleds are allowed.

You can use the Sledding Hill even if you're not a guest at Granlibakken, but the special deals available this year make it tempting, not to mention convenient, to stay on-site.

74 Secluded Acres

The Perfect Lake Tahoe Getaway

Granlibakken is a Norwegian name meaning a hill sheltered by trees. Granlibakken Resort is family-owned, occupying 74 wooded acres in a picturesque mountain valley. Spectacular Lake Tahoe is just minutes away. Friendly but shy bears and other wildlife can be spotted on occasion.

Townhome and suite accommodations afford plenty of privacy in a tranquil and relaxing hideaway.  For pleasure, a full menu of Tahoe's outdoor recreation and indoor entertainment is available either at the resort or minutes away. The hospitality is European and the lifestyle is Lake Tahoe.

Speaking of lifestyle, our appreciation for Lake Tahoe also means a commitment to protect and preserve its environment. Please visit our Greenlibakken page to learn more.

The History of Granlibakken

Skiing at Olympic Hill: The Story of "a hillside sheltered by fir trees"

Granlibakken Resort, on Lake Tahoe's west shore, is the site of a ski area whose history goes back to the heyday of Tahoe Tavern. These days, Granlibakken resort, located half a mile from Tahoe City along Lake Tahoe's west shore, prides itself on being one of Tahoe's better vacation complexes, hosting everything from local Rotary meetings to international science seminars. To many, though, its importance lies not in its conference halls but in its small ski jumping area, once called Olympic Hill.
