Imagine a place where you can stand at the summit of a mountain and then by afternoon tour the historic ice arena where Olympians have fought for the gold. Lake Placid offers a variety of activities. Access to outdoor recreation, like hiking and swimming, are steps from downtown Lake Placid where you can shop and watch a movie in a historic theater. The family can also visit exciting Olympic landmarks like the towering ski jumps, where an elevator ride to the top will deliver you to a stunning bird’s eye view of the Adirondacks.
