Lake Placid, the site of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympic Games, is unique in what it offers the year-round tourist--from winter sports like speed skating, downhill skiing on the steepest mountain in the northeast, X-C skiing on Olympic trails to daredevil activities such as a ride on a bobsled. In the summer, you have easy access to two lakes--Placid and Mirror--for boating, swimming, kayaking--and an endless supply of mountains for hiking. The Village of Lake Placid offers great shopping, restaurants and views of the surrounding High Peaks.
