Almost everyone has an old pair of skates somewhere in storage. And if not (given to a friend or family member) you can still probably get around on the ice. Skating is relatively easy, very accessible and creates magical moments with family and friends.
Dust off your skates, sharpen your blades and glide along the most incredible rinks that Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean has to offer.
Village sur Glace in Roberval
A 1041 square kilometer surface area for skating, large enough for a giant! Lac Saint-Jean’s frozen waters can be reached via several different locations, but skating between the houses of the Village sur Glace in Roberval is a truly spectacular experience. Take a tour the village dappled with 200 cabins and meet the locals along the one kilometer long skating rink. Three skating rinks are also available for hockey fans on-site.
