Scenic Gondola Rides open for the summer season on June 26, 2026!

Take a fifteen minute ride through the stunning natural beauty of the Adirondack Mountains on the Cloudsplitter Gondola. This scenic lift transports you from the base of Whiteface Mountain to the peak of Little Whiteface, where you will be surrounded by panoramic views of Lake Placid, Lake Placid Village, Lake Champlain, and some of the highest peaks in New York State. It is one of the best ways to start your day at Whiteface Mountain.

At the base, make time to visit the Legends Cafe before or after your gondola ride for some great eats.
