Little Penguin Trail

This scenic winter wonderland, known as the Sentier du petit Pingouin, was envisioned by owner Carl Chénier and his wife, Nancy Lourenço of Touraine Golf Club, who sought to bring locals a new outdoor escape.

The route intially opened during the winter of 2021, follows golf cart paths and carefully chosen fairways, and invites families and friends to share moments of wonder and camaraderie.

Daily access costs $20-$24 for individuals and $75 for families (2 adults and 2 children). Tickets can be purchased on their website, so don’t miss out on this thrilling ice skating experience.

The Touraine Golf Club is located 25 minutes from downtown Ottawa and 15 minutes from downtown Gatineau.
