Do you enjoy cross-country skiing, or would you like to give it a try? Our nature parks and other municipal parks offer ski trails for all experience levels.

Cross-country trails

Montréal’s network of large parks offers some 100 kilometres of cross-country ski trails (in French), many of which pass through areas of untamed natural beauty. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned cross-country skier, you’re sure to find a trail suited to your skill level.

Conditions

Check the complete list of trails to find out their condition, level and distance in kilometers. Find a trail near you by filtering your search by borough or type (classic- or skate-style skiing).

You can also adapt your equipment to weather conditions with adjustments like using the right wax.

Rent equipment

Some parks offer equipment rentals.
