From nightlife to wildlife, Québec has it all! The cities of Montréal and Québec City, with their history, culture, great shopping and fabulous cuisine are gateways to Québec’s great outdoor adventure. Luxurious spas, whale watching, romantic country inns, golfing, skiing and much more, can all be enjoyed in this diverse destination. The French influence, with pavement bars and cafés are perfect to sit back and soak up the atmosphere.
Québec really is a four season destination. Summers (June to September) are normally hot and sunny, and the cities and villages are alive with free festivals and music. In autumn, the spectacular landscape bursts into a variety of brilliant reds, pinks and golds. In winter, enjoy skiing at one of the many ski resorts within easy reach of both Montréal and Québec City, or for a faster pace, try dog sledding, snowmobiling… or snowrafting?! In the cities, enjoy outdoor skating within the walls of Québec City or the Old Port of Montréal. And of course, there is the Ice Hotel, one of only two in the world, offering an amazing experience within easy reach of Québec City.
No more than 40 minutes from the city, you can start your great Québec outdoor adventure at four-season resorts that can take care of your every sporting need. Experience whale watching from Tadoussac on the St-Lawrence, or visit Parc Omega between Ottawa and Montréal, to see moose, bison and even wolves, close up in their natural habitat. Spot blackbears, beaver and seals in the numerous National Parks. Or try mountain biking, 4-wheel drive safaris, horse riding, canoeing, white water rafting, ice climbing, hiking, fishing, tennis and golf, all easily available throughout Québec. And after all the action, end the day relaxing by a log fire or indulge yourself with a spa treatment.
