Chateau Laurier Hotel stands as a testament to this dynamic, thriving city. Summer or winter, they make healthy activities simple. The Rideau Canal offers miles of bicycle and inline skating paths and the worlds\' longest skating rink just outside the door. The nearby Gatineau Hills offer great hiking, biking and canoeing, and in the winter, cross-country ski trails and excellent downhill thrills.
