Romantic Things to Do at Tahoe

Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but Lake Tahoe is romantic all ski season long. Here is my list of powdery activities perfect for two:

Dashing through the Snow

Snuggle under a warm blanket with your honey while soaking in the spectacular Tahoe scenery from a horse-drawn sleigh. Rides depart from South Lake Tahoe near Heavenly and whisk couples to a peaceful spot with panoramic views.

Borges Sleigh Rides operates from November to April. A 30-minute sleigh ride costs $20 per adult. 775.588.2953.

Get Steamy

Not far from Heavenly’s Nevada side, couples can escape the ski scene to David Walley’s Hot Springs, nestled one and a half miles south of Genoa. There, you can trade your snow suite for a swimsuit and plunge into one of seven mineral pools surrounded by vistas nearly as lovely as your date.

Picnic in the Powder

Plan a private picnic for two with the help of the Cupids who work at Heavenly. They provide the music, flowers, wine, silverware, china and food–including the kicker, a five-layer chocolate torte dessert. Everything is served on a table carved out of the snow and covered with a linen tablecloth. This unique dining experience is sure to make your hearts beat faster.

Stay the Night

No hotel at Lake Tahoe is more romantic than the Plumpjack Squaw Valley Inn. You’ll appreciate the small touches such as the fluffy robes and comfy slippers when you settle in on a cold winter’s night.

Nothing Says Valentine’s Day Like…

For me, the best part of Valentine’s Day is the chocolate. Northstar-at-Tahoe‘s Chocolate Bar has it covered, offering delectable white, milk and dark chocolate creations. When there, try one of its award-winning chocolate martinis–cheers!
