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.
Snowshoeing
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.
The trail's departure point is located in front of the Hélène-de-Champlain building, and as you go along, you will have the opportunity to discover Mont Boullé, the Lévis Tower and all of the beauty nature has to offer.
Schedule
The snowshoe trail will be accessible at 10 a.m., on December 23, 2023, weather permitting. See you soon!
