Skaters' trail
Skating is a great way to exercise, take in some fresh air and have an enjoyable time during the winter season.
At Parc Jean-Drapeau, an ice trail has been laid out so that fans of this activity can do their thing — and it's mere minutes from downtown Montréal. Offering a view of the river, this magical ice path is refrigerated and regularly maintained, thereby ensuring a memorable experience, especially after a small snowfall.
Come and spend some time open skating, by yourself or with your family, and get a glimpse of the setting sun, as it sinks behind the city's skyscrapers.
Dimensions: 3 by 457 metres (10 by 1,500 feet)
Natural ice rink
Annexed to the skaters' trail, the natural skating rink offers a large rectangular ice surface that will enhance the experience on the site. Although the natural ice rink won't be refrigerated, the ice will be maintained throughout the winter, despite the occasional whims of Mother Nature.
Dimensions: 32 by 18 metres (105 by 60 feet)
Slide and groove
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.
Master the art of skating!
Jean-Philippe Eyelom, a certified instructor who likes to teach and share his passion for skating, will be on the skaters' trail to offer tips and advices to those interested.
