The Eastern Townships region is characterized by quaint, charming villages and rich architectural heritage and known as a gourmet tourism destination all year round. This region is also popular with skiers, snowshoers and hikers and offers magical settings of forest trails and mountains. Four national parks and imposing snow-covered peaks delight outdoor enthusiasts and offer a wide range of sports and activities.

A unique experience in winter at Granby Zoo

Visit the Granby Zoo in winter at a fraction of the summer price! Admire an all-white canvas, that contrasts with the thick fur the animals wear at this time of year. All along the outdoor trail, you’ll come across animals that love the cold weather such as Amur tigers, snow leopards, red pandas and Japanese macaques. The zoo also welcomes those who are sensitive to cold (both animals and humans!) to visit the indoor pavilions that promise special encounters with exotic fauna, such as hippos, lions and elephants. Play areas and the souvenir shop will also be open for you to enjoy on your day of discovery.

Combining the privacy of a cottage with the luxury of a grand hotel, Mi-Clos mountain pods provide everything you need to get away from it all. The domes, which are spread out on a vast vineyard adjacent to Parc national du Mont-Orford, are equipped with a full kitchen, a heated floor and a wood-burning fireplace to keep you warm, without forgetting the king-size bed from which you can gaze up at the snowy landscape and starry sky. What’s more, each dome has a terrace with built-in hot tub, perfect for lounging after a day on the slopes or winter trails.
