Since Lake Placid is commonly known as America’s winter sports capital, you’ve got to stop by the Olypmic Ski Jump Complex during your visit. View the giant ski jump structures used in the Winter Olympics while enjoying other activities available in the area. The ski jumps are massive— standing at over 100 meters tall— and are still used today by experienced athletes. Time it right and you may catch athletes displaying their talents as they fly great distances and flip through the air. While the jumps are too dangerous for everyday visitors, you can still get your share of thrills by riding the ziplines adjacent to the ski jumps.

As you ride it, you’ll almost feel like you’re flying off the ski jump yourself. Visitors may also ride the scenic gondolas up to the base of the ski jump towers or check out the beautiful sky deck where you’ll find sweeping views of Lake Placid.

Address: Olympic Ski Jump Complex, 2634 Main Street, Lake Placid, New York 12946, Phone: 518-523-1655
