It's time to dust off your snowshoes, cross-country skis and winter bikes as Gatineau Park officially opens for winter activities today.

Outdoor enthusiasts will have access to 32 kilometres of ski trails, 7.5 kilometres of snowshoe trails, 7.5 kilometres of snow biking trails and 5.5 kilometres of hiking trails.

Visitors can purchase a season pass online or in person at the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre (33 Scott Rd, Chelsea, Quebec). 

If you just want to hit the trails for a day, you can buy a day pass at either the Gatineau Park Visitor Centre or at the starting point of whatever trail you want to take.
