Olympic-sized scenery

From rocky summits and ziplining over Olympic ski jumps to a mountain coaster on a historic Olympic mountainside, Lake Placid is known for its big views, big scenery, and big history. This, along with its charming, small town twist, is why we call it home. Check out any of our historic Olympic sites! To us, it's all perfect. Pay Lake Placid a visit for a memorable getaway and your own perfect day.
