Recharge and disconnect up close to nature
Outfitting means slowing down naturally to make time for winter’s simple joys, far from your mobile network. Enjoy tranquil moments as a family with activities like ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and wildlife watching, all of which will inspire you to stop, reflect and savour each moment in this fairytale setting. And for the thrill-seekers, there are heart-racing outings on dog sleds or snowmobiles to explore the majestic landscapes. However you like to unwind, you’ll find your ideal scenario here!
Sleep in the heart of the Laurentians
Rustic and well-equipped chalets, friendly inns or cabins tucked right into the forest: your options for accommodation are as welcoming as they are varied! Often located close to the trails, these places offer privileged access to winter activities steps from your door. For an even more immersive experience, some visitors choose the forest camps accessible by snowmobile or dog sled in the heart of wild territory. Practical all-inclusive packages offered by several outfitters make it easy to commune with nature at its most authentic.
Savour northern flavours
Being so close and connected to nature, these outfitters often favour game, fish, wild mushrooms and a host of local and unbeatably fresh specialties. That means you can savour local cuisine that highlights carefully selected products, sometimes even harvested or fished on location. It’s a perfect chance to try comforting, traditional dishes that celebrate Québécois know-how and creativity.
