As the world turns its attention to the Milano/Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, fans have two ideal places to immerse themselves in the excitement: Italy or Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa. This year, the iconic Adirondack resort is bringing the Olympic spirit home, offering guests a festive and immersive way to follow the Games from the shores of Lake Placid’s Mirror Lake.
Throughout the Olympics, visitors will find event schedules at the front desk, Olympics-themed programming across the property, and a fun photo stop: a life-size cut-out of Olympic medalist Andrew Weibrecht, the Inn’s own hometown hero.
Watch, Celebrate, and Connect
Nearly every TV across the resort, including The View Lounge, the Game Room, The Cottage Café, and its outdoor viewing areas, will be tuned to live Olympic coverage. Guests can enjoy themed cocktails and special menu features while cheering on Team USA.
In-room hospitality channels will also broadcast Miracle and other classic Olympic content to sustain momentum.
Special Olympic Events
The resort is hosting several interactive events to elevate the experience:
Olympic Trivia with Andrew Weibrecht — Feb. 13
Held inside The Cottage’s winter tent, this team-based trivia night includes prizes such as a $50 bar tab and a Finlandia Vodka-branded snowboard.
Olympian Roundtable — Feb. 19
Guests can join an inspiring discussion featuring regional Olympians from alpine skiing, biathlon, figure skating, ski jumping, and luge. The event includes a meet-and-greet and supports the New York Ski Educational Foundation, helping nurture future Lake Placid Olympians.
Lake Placid: A Winter Sports Hub
Beyond the Inn, the surrounding community offers a full lineup of winter sports excitement. The Empire State Winter Games return Feb. 5–8, welcoming 2,500 athletes to compete across the legendary 1980 Olympic venues.
