Lace up! This enchanting skating trail in Ontario is now open for the season and it takes you through a glistening winter wonderland.

Woodview Mountaintop Skating is located at the top of The Blue Mountain and it officially reopened on January 9, 2023. The attraction features a 1.1-kilometre ice skating loop with breathtaking views of the Niagara Escarpment.

The trail winds through snow-covered trees and glistening winter landscapes. After dark, the area glows with thousands of interactive lights to make your adventure even more magical. You can glide beneath a twinkly canopy and see dazzling lights adorning the trees.

The trail is located right across from Blue Mountain's new Off-Piste Pavilion where you can warm up with food and drinks after your skate.

Tickets include two hours of skating access and cost $18 to $31 per adult. There are rentals available for an additional fee.

The attraction is open daily from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Family Day weekend.

While at Blue Mountain you can enjoy tons of other winter activities. You can hit the slopes and ski or snowboard, snowshoe along trails, go tubing, ride a mountain coaster, and more.
