Lake Placid → officially a top mountain town!

Adirondack Vacation • December 5, 2025

Recognized for its beauty and adventure, Lake Placid is named one of

Outside Magazine’s best mountain towns.

Few destinations in the U.S. let you experience an Olympic-size ski jump or climb into a real bobsled—but Lake Placid does! Its legendary 1980 Olympic facilities are still open for athletes and adventurous visitors. Add in dog sledding, ice skating, cross-country skiing, and world-class downhill runs at Whiteface Mountain, and the winter options are endless. Outside Magazine sees it too — and we’re thrilled to have earned the #10 spot on their list of the 24 Best Mountain Towns in the U.S., Ranked!


Come discover the magic of this area for yourself!
