What travellers are saying
- bikingmomCleveland, OH755 contributionsWe came here on a Wednesday after a big snow dump on Tuesday. Skied over from Snowbird, so happy that we did. The lines were manageable and the skiing conditions were perfect. We never skied back to Snowbird, just took the shuttle back. My future trips will be just to Alta and I will book a hotel and stay there. No more drives into the canyon for me.Written 9 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Overseas HikerThe Hague, The Netherlands147 contributionsThe trail to Secret Lake – officially misspelled Cecret Lake – is beautiful and worth hiking. The trail is not very demanding nor very long as it winds its way through flowery meadows, up to a hidden lake at ± 3.000 m / 9,850 ft high.
Getting to the trailhead takes a detour through Little Cottonwood Canyon from Salt Lake City, when driving south.
The drive through the canyon was already nice, passing Snowbird and then reaching Alta, where we could park our car. At this time of day there were no problems parking, plenty of space.
The trailhead was close by the village.

You have to be ready for cancels and re-schedules, because you are so dependent upon the weather. We originally scheduled for February, but cancelled and re-booked into March. On the day we went, not much powder but nice corn. The terrain is great, and as I said, the guide are excellent. They make it easy. Your day will end early (around 2:00). When you are done, you come back to great food.Written 13 September 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cameron BSalt Lake City, UT11 contributionsOur kids love the Alta Children’s Center! The teachers are patient, kind, and caring. The activities are fun and educational, and the food is healthy! It is often hard to get our kids to leave at the end of the day! I would recommend again and again.Written 14 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Patrick C3 contributionsI went here on a solo spa day and it was fantastic. Before my arrival, Cat answered endless questions about whether I’d have space to take work calls in the lodge (there was plenty!) and was incredibly patient. Cami, Cat and Rose all took excellent care of me and made sure I knew where to go for my scheduled massage and time in the grotto. Having the grotto to yourself is excellent but my absolute favorite part was when I sat in a jacuzzi outside and watched it snow on an incredible view of the mountains. Gorgeous! And I had the hot tub to myself on a Friday in the winter?! Highly, highly recommend and will def be back. My day ended with an incredible massage from Kai who gave great pressure.Written 2 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
