Spring has arrived in Mammoth Lakes, and this time of year brings a quieter, more relaxed side of the mountains. The days are a little warmer, the pace slows down, and it becomes easier to enjoy everything Mammoth has to offer without the crowds. It is a season that feels simple in the best way, with just enough energy in the air to remind you why people love it here.
At Alpenhof Lodge, we especially love this stretch of the year. Mornings start with a short walk to coffee in the Village, just steps from your room. Afternoons are wide open. Take a scenic drive, explore town, or find a quiet place to sit and take in the views. Evenings are for unwinding, whether that means a soak in the Jacuzzi or a glass of wine by the fireplace.
Spring also brings one of the most anticipated moments of the season. Fishing opener, known locally as Fishmas, returns to Mono County on April 25. Anglers from all over make their way to the Eastern Sierra to kick off the season, and there is a noticeable buzz around town as it approaches. It is the perfect excuse to turn a quick trip into a full weekend. Spend your days out on the water, then come back to a comfortable room, a warm meal, and everything you need to recharge for the next morning.
This time of year also offers some of our best rates, making it easier to stay a little longer and experience Mammoth at your own pace. To make it even more appealing, we are offering our “Stay a While” Special for Spring and Summer 2026. Use code STAY2026 to receive 25% off stays of three or more nights from April 13 through October 31, 2026. It is the perfect opportunity to extend your trip and settle into the slower rhythm of the season.
Offer valid on direct bookings only. Discount is not valid for holidays or select special event weekends and may not be combined with other promotions. Changes to dates or length of stay may affect eligibility or pricing.
