Offering a view of the river, the skaters' trail is refrigerated and regularly maintained. Come and spend some time open skating, by yourself or with your family!
Three traditional cross-country trails, marked out and maintained, will delight enthusiasts of this activity, as well as those who would like to take up the sport.
Come and hurtle down Espace 67's natural slope: bring your luge, sled, sliding mat or any zany means of sliding to take full advantage of this snowy slope.
Winter biking is an activity that is quickly gaining in popularity among hardy outdoor enthusiasts. For beginners, a winter-biking loop for newcomers to the sport is located near the rental centre. Once you get comfortable you can set out on a trip to discover the many attributes of Parc Jean-Drapeau!
Snowshoeing is undoubtedly one of the most accessible, enjoyable and easy sports there is. Whether you're on the trail to admire the wildlife and plant-life, take in some fresh air or re-energize your spirits, this activity is tailored to tame winter in the best way possible.
Once the sun sets, colourful light games take over the dance floor and the Trail, creating a magical setting. The DJs' captivating beats get the crowd grooving, while the skaters slide and glide to the musical tempo.
