Tahoe Via Ferrata
Explore Tahoe’s iconic rock face, The Tram Face, by navigating the rock face on the protected climbing route with permanent steel anchors and cables.
Biking
Bikes are available to rent in the Village at Palisades Tahoe. We recommend starting in the Village and following the path along the Truckee River to Tahoe City. This is a 10.6 mile out-and-back trail and it takes on average 3 h 16 min. We suggest taking a lunch break in Tahoe City at River Grill, Tahoe Tap House or Bridgetender Tavern & Grill.
Rafting & Floating
You can raft or float down the Truckee River. The leisurely float takes 2-3 hours, beginning in Tahoe City and ending at the River Ranch Restaurant. The rafting trip passes through scenic meadows, mountains, and small rapids, making it enjoyable for all ages (2 years and up).
