Since January 20, 2021, skating on a golf course is a new winter activity that Gatineau residents can enjoy at the Touraine Golf Club. Owner Carl Chénier, along with his wife Nancy Lourenço and members of his team, decided to build a skating trail over five kilometres long on his golf course to give area residents the opportunity to exercise and do a fun activity during the winter months. The trail passes through golf cart paths and some strategic spots on the green.


Discover the Little Penguin Trail, the largest outdoor skating trail in the region built on the enchanting site of the Touraine Golf Club. Only 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa and 15 minutes from downtown Gatineau! Enjoy the unique experience of skating on a gorgeous icy path of over 5 km in the middle of nature. With the trees in the forest full of freshly fallen snow, it's truly magnificent!
