Enjoy relaxation
Spas are connected to nature and its elements, and winter creates a magnificent snow-covered setting ideal for relaxation. Go for a dip in the warm and cold baths of a Nordic spa, whether it's in the city, on a riverbank or in the forest. From facials to body treatments to the benefits of a therapeutic massage, there's no better way to indulge, take care of yourself and leave your everyday worries on hold. And if you're looking for other ways to relax, consider nature walks, quiet activities, charming hotels and getaways where you simply take the time to rest.

Discover local flavours at the Maître Renard Microbrewery
Opened in 2021, Maître Renard is the very first microbrewery in the region. What sets its beers apart, in addition to them being brewed locally, is that they are prepared with products from the region’s own boreal forest. Most recently, this microbrewery won the bronze medal in the "Canadian-Style Beer" category at the Canada Beer Cup with the “Renard Brun”, a maple-scented brown ale. Learn more during a guided tour of the facilities, where one of the brewers will explain the brewing process and offer tastings of some of the beers.
