The hotel is near the Byward Market area for  restaurants, and about 1 km from the Rideau Canal and 1 km from the National Art Gallery. 

As for skiing, it’ll be in the Gatineau Hills (Gatineau Park), on the Quebec side with its 40 groomed, track-set trails, and wilderness trails, amounting to an impressive 200 km.  There is a very wide variety of trails, for novice to expert.

For skiing, we will visit 3 different areas of the park each day. Each day will follow the same schedule during the day. We will have the opportunity to purchase maps at the visitors centre when we are buying  the trail  tickets. Skiers should have a day pack to to carry extra clothing, lunches, and water.

There is skating on the Rideau canal and the distance  one way is 7.8 km, there are rentals this year, and sleigh. There is  no storage for your boots. There will be food huts for hot chocolate and beaver tails.
