Head to Lake Placid, host to the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. Channel your inner Olympic bobsledder at the Cliffside Mountain Coaster, the longest year-round mountain coaster in the country. Soar above Lake Placid on the Sky Flyer Zipline. If you prefer an enclosed option, try the SkyRide Experience. The eight-person gondola brings guests from the Olympic Jumping Complex’s base lodge up to the ski jump towers, a new glass-enclosed elevator ride to the ski jumps with views of the Adirondack High Peaks. Get in the holiday mood at the Lake Placid Holiday Village Stroll, running Dec. 11–13.

Other can’t-miss options include outdoor activities in Mirror Lake, family-friendly activities at Oak Mountain ski resort, holiday fun at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake and frozen waterfall tours at Ausable Chasm.

There are numerous lodging options for every preference. Mirror Lake Inn and Whiteface Lodge are perennial favorites. New additions for 2020 include The Lake Placid Inn and Saranac Waterfront Lodge, opened in July and November, respectively. High Peaks Resort has three unique lodging options: The Resort (105 guestrooms and suites, newly renovated in March 2020), Lake House (44 guestrooms) and Waterfront Collection (28 guestrooms, including 10 suites).

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
