Get out your toques, mittens snow pants and head out to one of the four tube-sliding venues below. Warning! Practising this activity could cause uncontrollable laughing and snow infiltration inside your clothing!
In the Mégantic region, a short distance away from the lake of the same name, The Station Touristique Baie-des-sables offers you three tube-sliding corridors, without mecanical lift. This way, you can reward yourself for your physical effort by going to the ticket office to enjoy a nice hot chocolate! And if you wish to prolong the fun, know that you can rent a chalet directly on the site of the Station. To know the schedule, please refer to the Station touristique Baie-des-Sables Facebook page.
In Sherbrooke, the Base de plein air André-Nadeau’s outdoor activity centre is an absolute must for family fun outings thanks to all the activities offered here, including three artificial-snow-covered sliding corridors. In order to enjoy a tube-sliding activity, you’ll need to rent a tube to access the facility. Please note that children aged three and less aren’t admitted to the tube slides, but can still enjoy the space reserved for regular sliding. Remember to bring your own equipment in this case.
To complete your day, feel free to explore the site’s many trails on cross-country skis, snowshoes, fatbikes or on foot. You can also skate on the ice surface.
Head to Mont-Mégantic National Park to discover two sliding options waiting for you next to the ASTROLab, near the park’s welcome center! The first is a more classic slide, where you can use your own equipment or take advantage of the few sleds available for free on-site. Looking for a slightly more athletic challenge? Try the brand-new Austrian sledding run! With its 350 meters of length, it promises plenty of fun and a bit of exercise, as there’s no mechanical lift. To access this activity, you must rent an Austrian sled directly at the welcome center.
From mid-December until the end of March (with the collaboration of Mother Nature), the Parc National de la Yamaska offers you access to a fa couple of 76 metres-long sliding corridors. The loan of tubes for adults and children is offered free of charge at the Discovery and Visitors Centre. The use of personal sleds is permitted. The activity is free but you must pay your park access rights. Take advantage of your visit to this national park to introduce yourself to ice fishing or to riding a fatbike!
