Overview

Step into the spirit of the Olympics with a private helicopter journey from Manhattan to Lake Placid, host of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Games. This immersive experience blends adventure, history, and luxury in one unforgettable day. Enjoy a scenic flight to the Adirondacks before beginning your own Olympic-style challenge with a Torch Relay and Opening Ceremony. Choose from activities such as bobsledding, curling, skiing at Whiteface, skating on the Olympic Oval, or playing at the historic Herb Brooks Arena. Guests are timed and scored, with medals awarded at the end. After an action-packed day, unwind at Lake Placid Lodge, a Relais & Châteaux property, and enjoy a seasonal, locally inspired lunch overlooking the lake. Return to Manhattan by helicopter, concluding with a breathtaking NYC skyline tour. Availability: year-round (seasonal variations). Flight time: ~2 hours each way. Total duration: ~10 hours.
