The OMNI Tahoe Yoga Festival takes place at the top of Heavenly Mountain, and the only way to reach the event is by riding the Heavenly Gondola—a scenic 20-minute ride each way with breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
Your festival ticket includes a one-way ride up and down the mountain via gondola (unless you have a valid 25/26 Epic Pass).
There is no in-and-out access for regular ticket holders. If you ride down and exit at the base, you will need to purchase a new gondola ticket to return to the festival.
Epic Pass Holders (25/26 or auto-renew) have full in/out gondola access and can come and go freely throughout the day.
Wear proper footwear—you’ll be walking between Tamarack Lodge and Blue Sky Terrace, either via gondola or marked hiking trails.
Have dietary restrictions? Bring your own food/snacks—on-mountain options are limited, and you won’t be able to leave mid-day without a valid Epic Pass.
Learn more about the Epic Pass at epicpass.com
Please plan accordingly and pack everything you’ll need to stay on the mountain all day!
