Whiteface Summer Activities

Summer is here at Whiteface!

Whiteface Veterans’ Memorial Highway: Open Daily 8:45am – 5:30pm

For those who prefer the open road, the Whiteface Veterans’ Memorial Highway offers a historic eight-mile drive to the summit of New York’s fifth-highest peak, where visitors can explore a castle built of local stone, grab a bite at the 4610′ Grill food truck, and take in a 360-degree panoramic view of the Adirondacks stretching into Vermont and Canada. The summit is accessible via a stone staircase hike or a historic elevator carved directly into the mountain. Whether you drive, ride, or hike, the views from the top are simply unforgettable.

Cloudsplitter Gondola, Disc Golf, Hiking, and Yoga on the Mountain: Opens Friday, June 26th

The signature summer experience is the Cloudsplitter Gondola, an eight-passenger cabin that glides from the base lodge to the summit of Little Whiteface in about 15 minutes, offering sweeping views of the High Peaks, Lake Placid, and on clear days, as far as Vermont and Canada. At the top, visitors will find an observation deck and picnic area, as well as one-hour yoga sessions for ages ten and older that include the gondola ride up. It’s a one-of-a-kind way to experience the mountain in a whole new season. Back at the base, guests can tackle the 9-hole disc golf course, which winds through fields and along the lower sections of favorite ski trails, or explore hiking trails suited to all ability levels. Dining options include the Legends Cafe on the second floor of the the Base Lodge and the 4610′ Cafe at the top of the Veterans’ Memorial Highway. With a full calendar of summer events, from sports exhibitions to fall festivals, there’s truly always something happening at Whiteface and the surrounding Lake Placid Olympic Sites.
