Mountaineers, skiers and dedicated hikers form the majority of visitors to the vast northern region between Albany and the Canadian border. Outdoor pursuits are certainly the main attractions in the rugged wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains , though a few small resorts, especially the former Winter Olympic venue of Lake Placid , have a bit of life to offer, and the elegant spa town of Saratoga Springs nestles invitingly in the delicate countryside of the southern foothills.
