Mt. Van Hoevenberg XC

Gliding through some of the most beautiful terrain in the east, taking in the towering white pines, crisp, clean air, the calm of the Adirondack woods. That’s what cross-country skiing here at Mt. Van Hoevenberg in Lake Placid is about. The fact that it provides one of the best low-impact, total-body workouts you can find is a bonus: arms, legs, stomach and back all work in concert without pounding your joints. A day on our impeccably groomed cross-country trails will exhaust and replenish you all at once. We offer cross-country skiing lessons – group and private – equipment rentals, a well-stocked sports shop and café. In short, everything you need to enjoy a day on our world-class cross-country ski trails in the Adirondack woods.
