Bear Valley Mountain Resort

What makes Bear Valley the best-kept secret in the Sierra? For families and lovers of nature and the outdoors, Bear Valley offers unfettered access and accommodations for all-season recreation and relaxation — and all without the crowds. Nestled halfway between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite in the high Sierra, Bear Valley is a paradox of sorts — a vast alpine basin filled with all the means to explore four seasons while being so small it feels like a private escape to granite-filled solitude.
