This winter will be very different. Looking for indoor and outdoor activities to keep you in high spirits and in good shape? Here are some suggestions for fun, morale-boosting activities offered in your neighbourhood, in urban nature or online.

Outdoor activities

Want to get out and enjoy the fresh air? There are countless ways to make the most of winter in Montreal, no matter what Mother Nature has in store. Access to activities is free, and some places even offer or rent equipment.
