This Quebec Snow Tubing Park Is The Largest In The World With 80-Metre Drops

A Quebec snow tubing park takes winter fun to new heights, literally. With 61 trails, five unique kinds of rides, and an impressive 15,000 lifts per hour, every inch of Les Glissades du Domaine des Pays d'en Haut is smothered in a thick blanket of snow, perfect for everything from a leisurely tube ride to a heart-pounding dash down the Adrenaline slope.

Les Glissades is the largest tubing centre in the world and now open for the winter. The entire site, under two hours drive from Montreal, has has been transformed into a winter paradise before the peak holiday season.

"Thanks to our state-of-the-art snowmaking system, we were able to snow cover the entire site early on this season," said Nicolas Raymond, Operations Manager and Co-Owner of Les Glissades.

"The Adrenaline slope recently opened, and the quality of the snow surface exceeded our expectations," he said.

During the holidays, Les Glissades transforms into an enchanting night-time venue. From December 23 to 25 and December 31 and January 1, the site remains open until 5 p.m. From December 26, 2023, to January 7, 2024, evening sliding is available.

Visitors can enjoy the trails under the lights, with background music and a festive atmosphere, until 8 p.m. A new light-up dome covering the magic carpet lift offers a sheltered ascent from wind and snow. The Rafting-Tornado side and the Tubing slope are lit for evening adventures.

Tickets for general admission start at $40 for two hours of tubing-only and go up to $46 for four hours. For more excitement, there are tickets for two hours of tubing, rafting and the Tornado at $47 for two hours and $53 for four. Those looking to maximize their sliding adventure, can opt for the Fanatik ticket that grants full-day access starting at $60. Tickets are available online for more savings compared to those purchased on-site.

You can now pre-order a meal through the UEAT app to avoid queues at Halte-Resto. This year's menu has new additions like the sugar pie from Cabane Arthur-Raymond and Arthur’s pork jowl poutine, the perfect comfort food meal to warm up between slides.

And you're likely to work up an appetite across the 13 snow ride areas on the mountain, with unique attractions like Bobsleigh, Vortex360, Rafting, Tornado, and Tubing. You might find winter's peak excitement can be found not only at the top of a snowy slope but also at the bottom of a post-slide poutine.
