There’s nothing better than a vacation spot that not only boasts great accommodations but is packed with exciting activities for the whole family to enjoy. That’s what makes Lapland Lake such an ideal getaway for the holidays; from cross-country skiing to wood-burning saunas, this Adirondack retreat strikes the perfect balance between thrilling winter sports and relaxation in upstate New York’s most magnificent winter wonderland.
Lapland Lake Nordic Vacation Center is one of the most uniquely fun recreational spots in upstate New York.
Book a cabin at Lapland Lake, and you’ll have access to a wide variety of activities, including a private cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trail system, tubing hills and an ice skating pond.
Enjoy one of three lodging options: Studio Lodging (sleep one or two), Tupa Lodging (includes two, three and four-bedroom apartments) and Farmhouse Lodging (accommodates up to 10 guests).
Here you’ll find one of the most beautiful woodland skiing environments on all of New York. Wind through forests, streams and wildlife on these incredibly groomed trails.
The trail system was actually designed by former Olympic skier Olavi Hirvonen and prides itself on a top-notch grooming system and equipment. The center also has a ski school (certified by the Professional Ski Instructors of America) with 15 instructors who offer private and group lessons for all ages. Winter recreation doesn’t get more serene than this.
If snowshoeing is more your speed, hit the 12 kilometers of snowshoe trails in these beautiful forests. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more festive activity to enjoy in nature during the holidays.
If you want to do some more exploring in the region, head down to Great Sacandaga Lake, one of largest and prettiest lakes in the state. Or drive down to Mayfield on the southwest side of the lake for a solid selection of restaurants and great views.
