Skating in the Parc du Grand-Héron
Buy Tickets
*** Activity exclusively reserved for Université Laval students***
In Québec, winter is synonymous with outdoor activities each more unique than the other. One of the classic is outdoor skating. This February, come and enjoy this traditional winter sport at the Parc de glisse du Grand-Héron in Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, where it is possible to skate on almost 3km of trails throughout the woods. This place is often listed as one of the 10 best places to skate in the province of Québec. An unforgettable experience!
Whether you are already a pro skater or just beginning to discover this sport, it’s possible to join us. During the activity, our volunteers will be there to help you improve your technique and help you out in case of need. Beware; this activity is not a class, so it is not aimed for complete beginners.
Skates
If possible, we recommend you to bring your own skates.
It is possible to rent a pair of skates directly on the site for $5. It is also possible to rent skates at the PEPS for $10 for 24 hours and bring them to the site. See: https://peps.ulaval.ca/equipements-sportifs/#glace
Please note that the quantity of skates for rent is limited and we cannot guarantee that skates of your shoe size will be available. If you plan to rent skates at PEPS, allow a minimum of 45 minutes for paperwork and size selection.
During this activity we propose two hours of free skating. A heated chalet is at your disposal on the site to rest.
