The naturally snow-covered mountains, impressive fjord and huge landscapes make Saguenay breathtaking in the winter.

Whether seen from the top of a mountain blanketed in natural snow or from the foot of cliffs bordering the impressive fjord, Saguenay’s vast landscapes are simply breathtaking. There’s no better place to head outdoors and take in the crisp air! This winter, bask in the incredible Saguenay scenery and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities to quench your thirst for adventure!

Grab your skis and hit the slopes

Explore the snowy mountains and enjoy the incredible ski slopes—the region’s best-kept secret! Le Valinouët is one of the only ski resorts in Quebec that offers 100% natural snow, and includes various off-trail sectors where you can play in the powder. At Mont-Édouard, you can test your skills on world-class competitive trails. What’s more, thrill seekers can access the mountain’s ski touring sector with climbing skins or snowshoes. If you want to catch a glimpse of the colourful fishing cabins while skiing, Mont-Bélu is a great option that’s close to town. You can even go night skiing if you want to keep the fun going after the sun goes down. In addition, L’Anse-Saint-Jean and Petit-Saguenay have also introduced wilderness skiing by offering off-resort sectors for thrill seekers. Your climb up the mountain will be rewarded with a powdery descent!
