Lake Tahoe’s Best Family Winter Adventure: Snowshoeing with Alpenglow Expeditions

Winter in Lake Tahoe is magical. Snow blankets the mountains, the air is crisp and clear, and the landscape transforms into a winter wonderland. But what if you’re not a backcountry skier or snowboarder—can you still enjoy the adventure? Absolutely. Snowshoeing offers a unique way to explore Tahoe’s backcountry while keeping the whole family engaged, active, and safe.

Explore the Best Trails in Lake Tahoe

At Alpenglow Expeditions, we specialize in guided snowshoe tours across some of the most beautiful areas of Lake Tahoe. From the dramatic peaks and rugged trails of Shirley Canyon and Donner Pass, to the serene beauty of Tamarack Peak and Carson Pass, we know the best spots to experience the magic of winter.

For a truly special experience, our moonlight snowshoe tour lets you explore the quiet, sparkling landscape under the glow of the full moon—an unforgettable memory for families and friends alike.

A Winter Adventure for the Whole Family

Snowshoeing is more than just walking in the snow. It’s a way to immerse yourself in nature at a slower pace, noticing the small wonders of winter that often go unseen. Your family will stroll through peaceful meadows, navigate gentle forest trails, and pause at panoramic viewpoints with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe’s snow-covered landscape.

Along the way, our guides enhance the experience by sharing fun facts, answering questions, and helping you connect more deeply with the winter environment around you. Snowshoeing is accessible, rewarding, and perfect for all ages—from kids to grandparents.

Comfort and Memories Along the Way

We know comfort is key on a winter adventure. That’s why we set up cozy snow benches where you can warm up with hot beverages and snacks while your guides capture quality photos of your adventure.
