Unspoilt nature

Québec boasts a rich native heritage that includes snowshoeing and cross-country skiing through spectacular landscapes. Originally practised by the Amerindians ice fishing is enjoyed everywhere. Once the ice is thick enough, little hut villages pop up on the frozen waters of the Fjord-du-Saguenay and Lac Saint-Jean. In Montreal, novices or old hands alike enjoy ice fishing on the northern bank of the Saint-Laurent. Whether for a single day trip or an expedition lasting several days, with forest accommodations such as igloo building to sleep in overnight, the experience is sure to be unforgettable!

A traditional mode of transport

In the Great White North, the dogsled puts you in touch with nature as it lets you bond in a special way with man’s best friend. Dogsled teams normally consist of four to nine dogs, generally Siberian huskies or Alaskan malamutes. Other breeds include the Greenland or Eskimo dog and various crossbreeds like the Alaskan husky.

Sunrise boreal

The boreal forest that covers the northern part of the territory of Québec is host to an extremely varied flora and wildlife. Hunters, fishers and nature lovers have always enjoyed it. Ice-skating for miles on end along frozen pathways that meander through maple forests in Mauricie or in the Laurentides is only topped by spectacular boreal sunrises.
