Notices
Mobility
Sports training is prohibited due to the reconfiguration of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve during the resurfacing work: removal of the multi-purpose track and introduction of a two-way traffic. For a safe cohabitation, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
The access ramp, that allows automobile traffic between the Concorde Bridge and Macdonald Road on Île Sainte-Hélène, will be demolished and rebuilt. Delays and detours to be expected, reduce your speed and follow the directions of the traffic signs.
Fat bike
Winter biking is an activity that is quickly gaining in popularity among hardy outdoor enthusiasts. Come and tackle the Parc Jean-Drapeau trails riding these bikes with their oversized tires, which allow you to get traction and maintain control on several types of surfaces, including snow-covered ones.
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!
Explore the many attractions this vast natural area has to offer as you wend along the marked trails of the amphitheatre, the lower contour, or stroll on the central walkway. You will be awed by the uninterrupted views of the winter landscape and captivated by the soothing tranquility of the wooded areas, where every nook has its special charm.
This winter biking outing promises to be an immersive experience amid nature, ideal for thrill-seekers and winter landscape lovers.
Schedule
The Fat bike trail will be accessible at 10 a.m., on December 23, 2023, weather permitting. See you soon!
