Heavenly Gondola

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

The Heavenly Gondola is open for sightseeing.

Located  across the street from the Stardust Lodge and a half mile form the Americana Village, Heavenly’s Gondola is Lake Tahoe’s “must-do” experience, a year-round sightseeing opportunity unlike any other! The  current hours of operation are: 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekends / holiday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays.  The mountain is scheduled to close April 18, 2010

The eight-passenger cabins take guests 2.4 miles up the mountain in 12 minutes while they enjoy views of Lake Tahoe.

Just when it seems the ride can’t get any better, guests arrive at The Deck – a 14,000 square foot mid-station observation platform. Located at 9,123 feet, guests are treated to views of the Carson Valley, Desolation Wilderness and shore-to-shore views of Lake Tahoe.

After soaking in the views on The Deck, sightseers can head to Adventure Peak for a day of mountain fun, then enjoy a meal or grab a drink at the Adventure Peak Grill, a full-service, outdoor restaurant and bar.
Take a virtual tour of the Gondola ride, The Deck, and Adventure Peak. Or view the “Gondola Rising” video to see how it was built.
