Your perfect winter day awaits

As America’s original winter vacation destination, Lake Placid offers the perfect balance of snowy adventure and lodge-style luxury. If you're searching for things to do in Lake Placid in the winter, you’ll find it all here. Wake up in your own cozy cabin, with the aroma of freshly brewed hot cocoa mingling with the crackling of a fireplace. White-capped High Peaks frame your view, transporting you right back to nostalgic winters of old. 

Olympic heritage abounds in Lake Placid during the winter at the Olympic Legacy Sites. Catch the excitement of live hockey tournaments at the Olympic Center, where you can cheer on teams competing on the same legendary ice that has witnessed some of the sport’s greatest moments.Glide across the historic Oval, the very same venue that has hosted numerous Olympic speed skating events, and feel the history beneath your skates. When it comes to Lake Placid winter activities, your options for adventure are endless! Get into the woods on snowshoeing and cross-country skiing trails like the Adirondack Rail Trail that weave and connect across the region, or head to Whiteface Mountain for the ultimate skiing and snowboarding experience. Need more winter fun? The surrounding towns of Keene, Ray Brook, and Wilmington offer unique views of towering mountains, snow-covered valleys, ice flows on rushing rivers, and plenty more snowy trails to explore. 

Main Street relaxation 

Off the trails and into the heart of après-ski, head to Main Street to experience post-ski pampering unique to the charming downtown of Lake Placid. Visit spas and salons for services including acupuncture, cupping, skin care services, aromatherapy, and more. For athletes and snowbound adventurers, schedule a massage after a long day of outdoor play. For dinner, indulge in Lake Placid’s rich culinary scene. Sample locally crafted wines, hearty dishes, or simply enjoy some dessert and drinks by the fire. 

Whether you're enjoying the views from Whiteface Mountain, or indulging in world-class entertainment, the tranquil ambiance of the region beckons you to unwind and embrace a classic winter in Lake Placid.
