Located just 20 minutes from Québec City, the Jacques-Cartier region is a perfect place to re-energize at the heart of nature. Featuring spectacular landscapes, it is a region of high plains, a glacial valley and a changing winding river. You’ll feel like you’re miles away from everyday life. Whether you’re visiting to make the most of fall colours, spend some quality time with loved ones or take on a new outdoor challenge, you’ll find your inspiration on Quebec’s biggest playground.

Endless wonders to admire

The Jacques-Cartier region and its generous nature make an ideal setting for family activities and sports that are out of the ordinary. Explore the region on foot, on a bike or on a canoe so that you don’t miss a single view of the mountains or lakes. Or try something unusual like horseback riding or dog carting. Rentals are available as well as introductory training.

Sit down comfortably and… relax!

Outdoor activities and comfort can go together! Discover various options of places to sleep: in an inn overlooking the scenery, in a Huttopia or Hékipia glamping tent or in a yurt under a see-through dome. Fall is the best season to do some star-gazing. And to make sure you go back home good as new, be sure to add some well-deserved relaxation. Imagine a spa out in nature or a massage next to a quiet, sparkling lake…

Taste the good life!

Fresh air is sure to whet your appetite! And you’re in luck: the Jacques-Cartier region is home to quality restaurants and snack bars where you’ll find homegrown local specialties alongside decadent dishes to satisfy any craving. There really are mountains of flavours to discover in the area!
