Lake Placid Olympic Ski Jumping Complex
The 90-metre and 120-metre jumps from the 1980 Winter Olympics. Take a chairlift and an elevator to the top of the jump for views over the high peaks and the village.
The jumps lie about 3 km southeast of the village and were renovated in 2021. Visitors ride a chairlift up the mountainside, then take a glass elevator to the observation deck at the top of the 120-metre jump, roughly 26 storeys high, to experience the jumpers' perspective. In summer there is also the 'Sky Flyer' zipline. World Cup and training competitions are held here in both winter and summer. Admission is about $25 (included in the Olympic venues pass). The elevator closes in high winds.
