Heidelmann Lodge Obtains Historical Status

We are proud to announce that Heidelmann Lodge is officially a designated historical landmark.

Built in 1948 by the Nature Friends of California as the successor to the Sierra Haus (1931-1943), Heidelmann Lodge continues a tradition of alpine recreation, fellowship, and community on Donner Summit. The Nature Friends helped pioneer organized skiing and winter recreation in the Sierra Nevada, opening Donner Summit to generations of skiers, mountaineers, and outdoor enthusiasts and shaping it into one of California’s earliest centers of alpine sport and mountain life.

We’re Opened!

The roof is complete and we are open for our members. Come up and enjoy the season.
