Village at Squaw Valley

Give yourself over to the charm of Lake Tahoe at this alpine-styled shopping village, which invites folks to stroll about on cobblestone streets, tempted by a range of upscale goods. Various stores like the Kalifornia Jean Bar, Oakley, and Patagonia are stylish and accessible. Naturally, you'll encounter a host of shops specializing in ski wear and ski gear, but you'll also discover places that proffer trendy togs, eyeglasses, fine art, newspapers, bath and body products, and leather goods. In addition, you can make candles, get spa treatments, and sample everything from ice cream to steaming coffees to Irish pub fare. The Village is a great way to relax amid skiing jaunts.
