When was the last time you went tubing?
For many, the answer to that question is in the decades. But, unlike skiing or ice skating, tubing requires minimal skills and supplies. And luckily, there are plenty of snowy spots near the city to help you find your way back to the top (and bottom) of the hill.
So, whether you’re looking to find a snow tubing hill in the heart of downtown or a little further into nature, here are six places to go snow tubing in and around Montreal.
