Lake Placid, Adirondacks, USA

Sheltered among the Adirondack Mountains, the alpine village of Lake Placid has remained an irresistible winter vacation destination for well over a century... and for good reason. Whether its a game of pond hockey, a ride down the toboggan chute onto Mirror Lake, a horse drawn sleigh ride or a snowball fight, Lake Placid is THE place to play in the snow. Noted for being America's first winter resort, Lake Placid comes alive with the magic of the season.

This winter, we encourage you to take advantage of Lake Placid lodging packages and experience the Adirondacks in arguably their most alluring form: covered in snow.
