Staying in Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a beautiful alpine basin located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. We believe this place is sacred and healing, and therefore complimentary to the Aston Paradigm. Here are some travel details to guide the planning of your trip.
Airport/Car Rental
Our closest commercial airport is located 45 minutes from Incline Village in Reno, NV. Use the Reno-Tahoe International Airport for flights and car rentals.
Weather Considerations:
- We are located over 6,000 ft. above sea level. Be mindful of altitude sickness when acclimating from sea level. Read: Tips for High Altitude Travel to prepare.
- Plan accordingly. If traveling to Incline in the winter, a four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive rental vehicle is extremely important.
- Dress for any weather. Even in the summer, temperatures at night can reach 40 degrees or below. Bring lots of layers and warm clothes, just in case.
