Port of Québec Village Nordik
Experience the thrill of ice fishing
First practised by First Nations peoples, ice fishing—fishing through a hole in the ice—has become a beloved winter tradition in Quebec, passed down through generations. This exciting activity lets you practise a traditional skill while creating lasting memories with family or friends.
Whether you want to learn the ropes of ice fishing or refine your skills, Village Nordik provides all the equipment and expert guidance you need. Between catches, cozy up in the warming area (presented by WKND 91.9), explore giant igloos, and enjoy onsite activities for even more fun.
Dive into a season packed with festivities
During winter, Village Nordik offers an exciting lineup of activities for the whole family. Join friendly fishing tournaments for anglers of all levels and try your hand at ice canoeing with introductory lessons. Take a break from the fun and enjoy delicious treats at the festive sugar shack and free winter BBQ, showcasing the finest local flavours. And don’t miss the Polar Bear Challenge, a charity event supporting Special Olympics Québec, along with the festive Mascot Party, promising laughs and unforgettable fun.
Enjoy little details that make all the difference
This year, Chez Mag, La Fine Cantine takes the spotlight at Village Nordik, serving hearty, comforting dishes to warm you up after a few hours on the ice. To provide a welcoming experience for all, the site is also accessible to visitors with reduced mobility, who are encouraged to bring a companion.
Calling all dog lovers! Your four-legged friend can also join in the fun but must be kept on a leash at all times. With so many thoughtful details, your visit is guaranteed to be a delight.
