Mammoth Mountain holidays
Mountain air, big-view adventures and a brilliant base for Yosemite.
Discover Mammoth Lakes, where craft breweries, alpine trails, scenic gondolas and otherworldly day trips make every season feel like peak season.
Big peaks, big adventures and a brilliant base for exploring California’s wild eastern side. Mammoth Mountain holidays put you in the heart of Mammoth Lakes, where alpine scenery, fresh mountain air and year-round outdoor thrills come with a seriously laid-back California feel.
There’s plenty here for non-skiers too. The town of Mammoth Lakes serves up an international foodie scene, craft breweries, cosy après-style bars and a lively local buzz, so you can go from mountain trails to margaritas, noodles, tacos or a fresh local brew without missing a beat. In summer, swap skis for hiking boots, bikes, paddle boards, kayaks, horseback rides and scenic golf, with lakes, forest trails and mountain views doing most of the showing off. Visit Mammoth lists summer highlights, including hiking, biking, golf, kayaking, paddle boarding and horseback riding.
Mammoth also makes a brilliant alternative base for Yosemite National Park. The eastern entrance via Tioga Pass is around 45 minutes from Mammoth Lakes, when the road is open, giving you access to Yosemite’s high-country drama without staying in the busier west-side gateways. Tioga Road is typically open to vehicles from late May or June until sometime in November, although dates depend on snow conditions, so it is always worth checking before travelling.
