A Skating ring with beautiful natural surroundings

Ice skating stands out as one of the highlights of Montréal’s many winter activities because it’s a great way to see the city and its people while getting exercise that’ll add a rosy glow to your cheeks. Go for a skate at the refrigerated Beaver Lake ice skating rink in the famed surroundings of Mount Royal Park and on the natural ice surface in beautiful and quaint Parc La Fontaine in the Plateau neighbourhood – you can rent skates and get skates sharpened at both parks. Natural surroundings, a city view and park amenities make Parc Jean-Drapeau a winter must: this year the park offers a special program of winter activities, including a skater’s trail.

Yes, it is free to enter and ice skate if you have your own skates.

Yes, there are ice skates and lockers you can rent easily.

The rink is in downtown so all you need is a metro and a bus so it’s not too bad.
