Lake Tahoe is an outdoor lover’s playground year-round, but there’s something especially magical about winter, when the landscape is blanketed in snow and perfect for getting outside together. You don’t have to be a skier to enjoy it, either. Sledding and snow tubing are some of the easiest (and most fun) ways for families and groups to embrace the season. Throughout the Tahoe area, you’ll find plenty of free sledding and tubing hills that are great for casual snow days, last-minute adventures, and travelers hoping to keep things budget-friendly. These spots tend to appeal to families with older kids, laid-back explorers, and anyone who doesn’t mind putting in a little extra effort for that classic, DIY winter experience. Prefer something a bit more polished? Tahoe’s paid tubing parks feature groomed runs, tow lifts, and on-site amenities that make the day smoother and less physically demanding. An ideal option for families with younger children, first-timers, or visitors who simply want to show up and slide. No matter your style, sledding and tubing offer a welcoming, laughter-filled way to experience Tahoe in winter.
Winter Fun For Everyone
Sledding and snow tubing are the kind of winter traditions that make everyone smile, whether you’re traveling with little ones, big kids, or a mix of both. As you pick your hill, think about comfort levels—gentle slopes are perfect for toddlers and first-timers, while older kids will love spots with a little more speed; groups with varying ages often appreciate tubing parks that offer options for everyone. Need rentals or an easy, ready-to-go experience? Head to a managed location. Hoping for a quieter outing? Smaller public hills and off-peak times can make all the difference.
Tubing and Sledding Locations
Tahoe’s snow tubing parks are ready to roll for the season, offering fun for all ages and skill levels. From groomed lanes to laughter-filled runs, tubing is one of the easiest ways to dive into winter play.
Situated on top of Echo Summit on forty acres, Adventure Mountain is perfect for all sorts of snow play, including snow tubing. With up to fifteen machine-groomed sledding runs and a base elevation of 7,350 feet above sea level, this family-owned & operated resort guarantees affordable fun for the entire family. Learn more.

There’s even an easy to view area where parents can watch their kids sliding down. The tubing runs are groomed daily, with high “walls” and a well-planned small hill below to stop you. Learn more.

Safety, Etiquette, and Leave-No-Trace
A few simple habits can make your sledding day safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Stick to the far edge when hiking back up, move out of the run out zone as soon as you finish a ride, and keep a close eye on little ones, or better yet, have an adult stationed at the bottom to guide them; most importantly, never sled toward roads or parking lots. Before you head out, do a quick sweep for trash and pack out everything you brought so these hills stay beautiful, following Leave No Trace and doing your part to Keep Tahoe Blue helps ensure the next family gets the same postcard-worthy experience.
Free Sledding Spots
Want a classic Tahoe snow day without the added cost? South Lake Tahoe is home to several dependable sledding spots where there are no lift tickets or tubing fees, just bring a sled (or rent one in town) and enjoy the sweeping mountain views. These laid-back hills are ideal for travelers who prefer a simple, go-at-your-own-pace kind of adventure. If choosing to visit unofficial areas, be sure to park only in safe, legal parking spots with all four tires on the inside of the white fog line, pay attention to and heed “No Parking” signs and avoid blocking gates.
We also recommend purchasing a sturdy, reusable sled instead of plastic which can easily break apart in cold temperatures. Please be sure to pack out all trash and everything brought in and used including broken sleds and plastic pieces.
Taylor Creek Sno-Park: With its beautiful alpine scenery and wide-open play areas, Taylor Creek makes it easy to turn sledding into a full winter outing. A Sno-Park permit is required for parking, but the payoff is good access and plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the snow. It’s a solid pick for mixed-age groups that want space to roam.
Echo Lakes Sno-Park: If you have a Sno-Park Pass, you can utilize this plowed parking lot to access hills by Echo Summit to sled at.
As you can tell, there are a whole plethora of places to try your hand at sledding and snow tubing while in South Lake Tahoe. From magic carpets whisking you to the top of quaint slopes for your little ones to play on, to open hills surrounded by snow-covered pine trees. You’ll find it here in Lake Tahoe.
