From the comfort of a cozy cabin to the warmth of a forest lodge, each stay invites you to reconnect with what truly matters.

In winter, outfitters become a natural haven for those seeking a stay that is both complete and deeply grounding. Known for their genuine hospitality, they invite visitors to experience winter in its purest form, surrounded by preserved wilderness. Whether in the comfort of a cozy cabin, the quiet warmth of a forest lodge, or a more rustic setting, each experience unfolds within snow-covered landscapes that calm and inspire. Many outfitters also offer on-site dining, an inviting way to gather around a comforting meal after a day spent outdoors, moving at winter’s own pace.

A playground of endless possibilities

When winter settles over the forest, outfitters become a vast playground shaped by the rhythm of the season. Snowshoeing and Nordic skiing lead the way through quiet trails, where fresh snow softens every sound. Farther out, snowmobiling opens access to wide-open landscapes, inviting a deeper connection with the scale and beauty of the territory. On frozen lakes, ice fishing extends the day in a calm, patient atmosphere that encourages reflection. At an outfitter, each activity offers a different way to inhabit winter—simply, and in harmony with the surrounding wilderness.

Beyond well-known activities, the Laurentians’ outfitters offer quieter, lesser-known winter experiences. Guided forest walks, territory interpretation, discovering animal tracks, or evenings gathered around a fire beneath a star-filled sky—here, winter reveals itself in a different way. These moments invite a deeper understanding of the surrounding wilderness and highlight its richness, even in its simplest forms. It is often these understated experiences, lived away from the crowds, that turn a stay into a lasting memory and give winter a renewed sense of meaning.
