Winter has rolled out its white coat and promises fun for those who want to play outside, whatever the weather. In the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles, Les Glissades Gamelin is a destination of choice for slide sport enthusiasts and those brave enough to try it for the first time. Here's everything you need to know about this urban sliding facility.

What can you do at Les Glissades Gamelin?

Les Glissades Gamelin offer three different hills and six different runs, all of which can be enjoyed by toboggan, snowskate or snow scooter. The site, open free of charge from Wednesday to Sunday, is a playground unlike any other in the city. What's more, the heated chalet L'Après-glisse lets the whole family warm up and enjoy a hot chocolate at the Café Tranquille counter in a friendly atmosphere.

The new refrigerated hill, La FOMO, overlooking Place Émilie-Gamelin is visible from afar. It features four toboggan runs that will delight audiences of all ages.   

La MOLLO, designed for snowskates or snow scooters, is aimed primarily at beginners. An instructor is on hand at weekends to guide the youngest and help them on learning snowboards without bindings.   

Last but not least, La YOLO is the hill of choice for more experienced snowskaters and snow scooters, who are not afraid of the cold and want to experience more thrills.   

Note that everyone can take advantage of a free equipment loan service on site.
