Boasting everything from snow-capped mountains to frozen lakes and boreal forests, Quebec is the perfect place for an outdoor adventure. And you’re in luck, because there are options aplenty! If you’re not sure where to start, let the experts at Quebec Adventure Outdoor help you make the most of winter. As each of the network’s businesses and organizations holds a Quality-Security certification, you’re sure to have a memorable – and safe! – experience. Here are three ideas for an outdoor adventure that’s beyond ordinary!


Explore spectacular trails on a fatbike

An increasingly popular activity, fatbiking offers a unique opportunity to marvel at unspoiled wintry landscapes. As fatbikes are designed to provide exceptional stability on icy and snowy surfaces – even on rough terrain – you’ll almost feel like you’re floating on snow and ice as you ride! And with electric fatbikes now available, this winter sport is even more accessible than before, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cyclist. On top of that, you’ll find marked trails specifically for fatbiking in more and more places.

Go on an adrenaline-fueled aerial adventure

If you’re up for something thrilling and would love to see the beauty and vastness of winter landscapes from high up, hebertism and tree-top courses are for you! A hybrid between hiking and climbing, a via ferrata adventure is a great way to admire the snowy landscapes as you work your way up a suspended mountain course secured to the rock face by steel cables and holds. If you’d rather pick up the pace, ziplining offers a unique chance to glide along a cable in a safety harness and fly like a bird over the snow-covered ground.


Wander off-trail down snowy mountains

For fans of snow-clad peaks, powder and exciting turns, off-trail skiing is an exceptional and truly immersive way to explore Quebec’s backcountry. Going off the beaten track offers ski enthusiasts the freedom to chart their own course through peaceful, pristine landscapes. But keep in mind that off-trail skiing requires technical expertise, familiarity with harsh weather conditions and a great deal of caution. For a safe adventure off the trails, why not choose a guided excursion?
