A Four-Season Destination for Five-Star Adventure

Tucked just below the Sierra crest, Truckee delivers four true seasons and 245 days of California sunshine to enjoy them in. Here, every month brings a new reason to play: wildflower hikes in spring, lakeside days under a summer sun, golden aspen trails in fall, and deep powder adventures all winter long. Every season transforms the landscape and how you experience it.

Winter

Ski, snowboard, snowshoe, sled, or snowmobile—however you like to play in the snow, Truckee turns winter into your personal playground.
