Lake Placid's legacy

Where Olympic history lives on

In Lake Placid, the Olympic spirit isn’t just a memory; it’s a way of life. From the triumphs of 1932 and 1980 to the world-class experiences visitors enjoy today, our mountain village continues to celebrate athletic excellence, determination, and community. Here, Olympic history is alive in every stride on the ice, every cheering crowd, and every visit to our Legacy Sites, where the thrill of past and present come together.
