If you crave adventure in winter, then the Côte-Nord region has just what you need!
Tourisme Côte-Nord
A true playground for snowmobilers, the Côte-Nord region offers endless stretches of pristine snow-covered landscapes and breathtaking views. Discover the richness of Innu heritage with cultural activities that highlight traditional skills with a contemporary spin. For a little something different, opt for an unconventional place to stay where nature sets the pace. Bundle up and get ready for winter in the Côte-Nord—surprises await at every turn!
A dream snowmobile adventure
Located in northern Quebec, the Côte-Nord is naturally blessed with heavy snowfalls and a long winter, making it an absolute paradise for snowmobilers.
The region offers unforgettable wilderness experiences, including the Nordic Raid and the Monts-Valin–Les Escoumins circuit. With its snowy forests and sweeping views of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Côte-Nord offers both stunning landscapes and impressive infrastructure, including the iconic 213-metre-long Manicouagan Bridge. At 28 metres high, it’s the tallest snowmobile bridge in North America!
A fascinating journey into the heart of Innu culture
In Pessamit, an hour from Baie-Comeau, Camp Innu Uamastakenis provides a unique opportunity to explore a nomadic way of life shaped by the seasons and a deep connection to the land. You’ll learn about core values like mutual support and community spirit at the Uamastakenis portage, an iconic heritage site.
During winter, the serene, snow-covered forest sets the stage for a calming outdoor experience. A cozy, authentic prospector tent combines comfort and authenticity, creating a getaway full of shared experiences and new discoveries.
A unique winter retreat in a giant birdhouse
Looking for something original and out of the ordinary? Head to Parc Nature de Pointe-aux-Outardes, a true Côte-Nord gem to explore with family, friends, or solo.
Travel scenic trails bathed in winter sunlight on snowshoes or touring skis, then visit the interpretation centre to discover an immersive exhibition dedicated to the Manicouagan Marine Protected Area.
And when the sun goes down, enjoy a cozy night under a starry sky in a giant ready-to-camp birdhouse. A magical, one-of-a-kind experience awaits!
