Les meilleurs hôtels à South Lake Tahoe

The Lake Tahoe region in the Sierra Mountains affords some of the world's best snow skiing, with such resorts as Heavenly, North Star and Squaw Valley, which was the site of the 1960 Winter Olympics. The Lake itself is no less than a natural wonder: It bottoms out at 1,645 feet -- deep and vast enough water to cover the entire state of California in 14 inches of water. Lake Tahoe is so clear that you can see a plate at 75 feet below the surface. Wealthy San Franciscans developed Lake Tahoe as a vacationland during the early 20th century, and it remains an attractive automotive getaway for those in Sacramento and the Bay Area. Spanning both sides of the California/Nevada border, Lake Tahoe is also a haven for a host of other outdoor sports and recreation year 'round. And the Nevada side of the border hosts a number of casinos for tourists who like to play indoor games with their disposable income.
