Step into a winter wonderland and witness Lake Tahoe like never before—bathed in the golden glow of sunset. Our Sunset Snowshoe Tour offers an unforgettable guided adventure through pristine alpine trails, where towering pines and sparkling snow set the scene for a breathtaking evening. Experience the solitude and quiet that define winter in the Tahoe Truckee area while enjoying hot drinks and snacks.
After meeting your guide at a location in the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, South Shore of Lake Tahoe, or Truckee area (location based on snowpack and weather), gear up and set out on a trek featuring the amazing views around Lake Tahoe. To ensure the best experience, we select from a variety of scenic trailheads based on current weather, snow conditions, and your lodging location, making every tour unique and convenient.
As the sun dips behind the Sierra Nevada, you'll snowshoe across peaceful landscapes, catching panoramic views of the lake glowing with vibrant shades of pink, orange, and purple. Perfect for couples, families, and adventure-seekers alike, this tour blends gentle exercise with the serene beauty of twilight in the mountains.
If you are looking for more of a challenge, you can continue to the top of one of the nearby peaks for panoramic views that can't be beaten. Many options exist for every ability level.
