Summer Trolleys & Ski ShuttlesAvoid parking and traffic hassle, while also helping to Keep Tahoe Blue. It’s easy to use alternative transportation in Tahoe, especially during peak visitor seasons. SummerTake the trolley to Emerald Bay. Emerald Bay is one of the most heavily visited spots in Tahoe. On the weekends, parking can be a nightmare and ruin a well-planned day. A great alternative, especially for families, is the open-air Nifty 50 Trolley, which leaves regularly from Camp Richardson, the South Y, and numerous hotels along Highway 50. You can also catch the trolley on the West Shore in Tahoma. All-day passes are $5 for adults, $2.50 for children. Read the trolley schedule. Ride a bike. Tahoe has an extensive bike trail system that winds through scenic meadows and forests, and meanders through quiet neighborhoods. Many hotels and businesses offer bike rentals. This is also a favorite activity for families. Visit the Lake Tahoe Bicycle Coalition for more information on cycling in Tahoe. Park the car and walk. Depending on where you stay, Tahoe offers a few walkable communities. The Heavenly Village at south Stateline offers easy access to shops, beaches, casinos and the gondola.
WinterRide the free ski shuttles. Yes, we said FREE. Don't battle those parking lines at the resort.
