Stanford in the Sierra

Choose from two comfortable locations for your Stanford-style, Sierra Nevada adventure. Visit Stanford Sierra Camp on the south shore of Lake Tahoe on Fallen Leaf Lake for summer family camp and spring alumni programs, or bring your business for a meeting during our spring or fall conference seasons. North of Tahoe City at Alpine Meadows, visit the Stanford Alpine Chalet in winter for excellent access to snow sports or for a business meeting or family reunion other times of year.

Summer Spotlight

The Stanford Alpine Chalet has available dates for group reservations this summer and fall! After a day hiking in the mountains or stand up paddle boarding on Lake Tahoe's amazing shoreline, relax in the Chalet's hot tub while Chef Scott prepares a delicious meal for your family or business associates. Call the Chalet today at (530) 583-1550 to book your summer or fall getaway!

Our Sierra Locations and Programs

  • Stanford Sierra Camp at Fallen Leaf Lake

    Leave your daily commutes and cell phones behind, and escape to a mountain summer camp filled with family fun! Stanford Sierra Camp sits at 6,377 feet on the shore of sparkling Fallen Leaf Lake near Desolation Wilderness in the Lake Tahoe basin. Brisk fresh air, glistening cobalt-blue water, the pungent smell of pines and a twinkling night sky frame the picture for one magnificent, memorable experience for your whole family.

    The Chalet offers individual and group accommodations year-round. In the winter, stay right across the street from Alpine Meadows ski resort in one of the Chalet's 14 cozy mountain-style rooms, each with private bath and view. Relax on the deck with spectacular Sierra peak views, savor a glass of wine fireside with fellow Stanford alumni guests or delight in the alpenglow from the outdoor hot tub. Other times of year, rent the Chalet exclusively for your business retreat, wedding or family reunion.
