Couples winter wellness escape

Lake Placid – Nighttime temperatures around Lake Placid are now starting to drop. In less than two months, snowmaking will be in force at nearby Whiteface Mountain.

Couples that embrace winter, be it on snow or ice or both, hear ye….hear ye! Your winter getaway in Upstate New York is right here, at the Mirror Lake Inn, with a couples guide to Adirondack spa packages after activities on snow and ice.

The Lake Placid Adirondack region is rife for a couple’s winter wellness retreat. Picture this: a morning of skiing Whiteface, the 1980 Olympic Mountain, followed by an afternoon session of ice skating on the same oval where Eric Heiden won five Olympic gold medals. Or take strides on Mirror Lake where you’ll find skating lanes created by the Town of North Elba.

The day would be capped by the ultimate indoor recovery: our Dry Float European Soft Pack, the Salt Room, and the Phytomer marine-based treatments that are found in the hotel’s renowned spa.

Other related activities could include a morning of robust cross-country skiing at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, followed by lunch at that venue, and then a thrilling half-mile public bobsled ride with certified drivers and brakemen.

Afterward, you’ll definitely need an adrenaline comedown back at the Mirror Lake Inn’s world class spa. At this stage of your stay, it might be appropriate to seek the comfort of our indoor pool as well as outdoor hot tub (water temp 105).

Prospective guests should contact the inn sooner rather than later as rooms and the spa tend to book up quickly during the peak winter months. By calling us at 518-523-2544, you have the confidence of talking to an onsite reservationist who can answer any questions you might have or can transfer you to spa staff for further information.
