Enjoy winter thrills

Craving a thrilling winter? Portneuf invites you to an unforgettable adventure! Mush through snowy trails with dog sleds at Au Chalet en Bois Rond, climb the frosty via ferrata, or carve down the slopes on mountain skis and hok skis at Vallée Bras-du-Nord. Discover the icy landscapes of the Parc naturel régional de Portneuf, where the famous ice wall awaits passionate climbers. For adrenaline seekers, hop on your fatbike in Portneuf, Saint-Basile, or Vallée Bras-du-Nord. Here, winter is pure adventure!
 

Every bite and every sip tell the story of the local terroir. Between a stop at a microbrewery, a visit to a passionate artisan or a detour to a gourmet market, you can savour winter in all its glory.
Then, when the skies open up, you can take to the skies: a hot-air balloon flight over the Richelieu River is like rediscovering this corner of the world from a grandiose angle. The snow-covered fields, the sparkling river, the mountains on the horizon... a backdrop that makes you want to slow down and marvel.
Book your flight and enjoy the Haut-Richelieu’s landscapes.
 

Winter on the Magdalen Islands is a great time to take a breather, seek inspiration, and fully enjoy the season’s pleasures. A winter stay is the perfect opportunity to slow down and discover the Islands in a different way, by following the pace of the local Madelinots. Take time to admire landscapes blanketed in snow, whether on cross-country skis, snowshoes, or even a fatbike. Enjoy the comfort of your cozy accommodations and the hospitality of your hosts. And if weather conditions allow (of course!), wildlife lovers will also be delighted to witness the migration of harp seals and observe seal pups on the ice floes.

Whether you’re visiting as a couple or with your family, you’ll enjoy a unique experience immersed in Wendat culture and history at Hatirontha, set against the magnificent backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains. Stay in one of four longhouses or in a teepee combining modern comfort and traditional decor, promising an extraordinary getaway filled with discoveries. Pets are welcome too! During your stay, enjoy a wide range of on-site activities, from craft workshops and bannock baking lessons to snowshoeing at Parc des Appalaches.
