Location Details

Palisades Tahoe   3D Model

United States / Olympic Valley, California
Location ID: #10281327

Located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, Palisades Tahoe is one of the most scenic and production-friendly destinations in North America. With over 6,000 acres of alpine terrain, two vibrant base areas, and sweeping views of Lake Tahoe, this iconic resort delivers a diverse range of settings ideal for commercial shoots, documentaries, feature films, branded content, and influencer campaigns.

From snowy ridgelines and legendary ski runs to golden summer meadows and high-altitude granite, Palisades Tahoe offers four-season versatility. Our location has served as the backdrop for Olympic history, extreme sports films, and lifestyle features — and continues to attract creatives seeking authenticity, scale, and dramatic mountain backdrops.

What sets Palisades Tahoe apart for production teams is our unmatched lift infrastructure. We are the only resort in North America equipped with an Aerial Tram, a Funitel (large-capacity gondola), and a traditional gondola — making it incredibly efficient to transport crew and equipment up and down the mountain. Combined with ample parking, staging areas, and onsite support, we make mountain production surprisingly seamless.

Just 45 minutes from Reno-Tahoe International Airport and accessible year-round, Palisades Tahoe combines raw alpine beauty with modern convenience. Our experienced team can assist with permitting, location scouting, and access to local talent and crew to help bring your vision to life.
