Walking in a Winter Wonderland
You don’t have to hibernate this winter because there is a SnowSport or fun event for everyone in Quebec’s great outdoors. Crisp mornings, a sunny day and mountains of snow make Quebec one of Winter’s must-see destinations. As one of Canada’s most beautiful provinces, it boosts charming trails and peaceful scenery for snow shoeing, or cross-country skiing. Tremblant is an idyllic year-round destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, and the less adventurous visitors can also enjoy the nights around a cozy fire with friends. Though it can vary, you can be basking in the snow as soon as late November and can often get in all this winter fun until after Spring break. Many of their beautiful resorts can be enjoyed year-round offering golf, hiking and amazing spas when there isn’t snow up to your knees. Your pallet will be impressed as the dining experiences at modern Maestro and Manoir Saint-Sauveur are unforgettable.

Skiing and Snowshoeing
Quebec’s snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails are a nature lover’s dream.

The mature forest is impressive, and if you get tired you can always cut out and head back to the cabin early. You may decide braving the curving downhill rush of Mont Tremblant or Bromont is more your style, and with over 70 ski areas in Quebec there is a perfect fit for everyone.

There are activities for all ages, as well as time-honoured traditions, so get your red on and go have some fun.

Everyone will fall in love with Bonhomme, the official representative of the winter carnival, the King of Winter and you can see the mayor of the city continue the tradition of giving Bonhomme the Keys to the City at the start of each Carnival. A few other musts while at the Carnival are going to Bonhomme’s Ice Palace, you won’t believe your eyes as you witness ice sculptures beyond anything you could ever dream of. Watching the Ice Canoe Races puts a smile on faces old and young, teams of 5 compete by pushing their canoes across the frozen St. Lawrence River. Feeling brave, you can even give it a try yourself! Ahh, and don’t forget to enjoy a Glass of Caribou…maple syrup and whiskey, have it hot or cold, I suggest choose cold so you can have it in a glass made entirely out of ice!
