Park at Village Access Gondola Parking Lot

  • 10-minute gondola ride from parking lot to Village Lodge & chairlift access
  • Free parking in our smaller, secondary parking lot
  • First-come-first serve basis

Village Gondola Parking Lot: 58370 Donner Summit Rd, Norden, CA 95724

Village Gondola Lot for The Lodge & Village Guest Parking

The Lodge and Village guests have access to the covered indoor parking at the base of the gondola. After parking in the garage, head upstairs to board the Gondola, and you will arrive inside The Lodge in just a few minutes. Please note, we do not offer overnight parking in our Judah base area parking lots nor adjacent to The Lodge, so we highly encourage taking the Village Gondola during your stay.

Limited Overnight Parking

There is a small amount of overnight parking available for guests and employees located near the Village Gondola Parking Lot on Old 40. Please do not attempt to park overnight in the main lot. The overnight lot is located east of the gondola on the south side of the road. Look for a small parking lot that runs along the gondola-side of the road.

Please note, there is no overnight parking, including RVs, in the main Judah lot or the main Village Gondola parking lot due to snow removal concerns.
