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.

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.

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.
