Les hivers en ville ne doivent pas nous empêcher de profiter de toutes sortes d'activités. Qu'il s'agisse d'excellentes options de ski à proximité de la ville, de patinage ou de profiter du spot le plus Instagrammable de la ville, il y a beaucoup de choses à apprécier pendant la saison froide. Il y a du ski de fond sur l'île même, et les pistes de ski ne manquent pas au-delà des limites de la ville, quelle que soit la direction que vous prenez.  RECOMMANDÉ : Guide complet des meilleures choses à faire à MontréalOù patiner à Montréal

Winters in the city doesn’t have to stop us from enjoying all kinds of frosty activities. From choice Montreal skiing options, ice skating to trips to the city's most Instagrammable spot, there's a lot to enjoy during the coldest season. There's cross-country skiing on the island itself, and no shortage of ski hills beyond city limits, no matter which compass direction you take. Take your pick: There are short and steep groomers in the Laurentians to enjoy after staying in a chalet near Montreal, to powdery glades in the Eastern Townships, and weekend getaways in Vermont. A day or three on the slopes is almost enough to justify delaying spring for just a smidge longer.
