  • Sliding

    In the Quebec area, we've been sliding for a long time! Did you know that, in the middle of the 19th century, people used to toboggan on the hills on the Plains of Abraham? That slide was built on Dufferin Terrace at the end of the 19th century, and Quebec residents and tourists are still using it.

  • Skating Rink

    Skating in the heart of the action is now possible at Place D’Youville! Glide for free across a refrigerated rink amid the ambiance of Old Quebec, just across from Porte Saint-Jean and Capitole de Quebec.
    Forgot your skates? Don't worry, a rental service is available on site. You can also have your skates sharpened, and lockers are available during opening hours. Bring your padlock!

  • Ski

    Hit the slopes at Mont-Sainte-Anne, one of eastern North America's premium winter resorts and the host of numerous international competitions. With its spectacular St. Lawrence River views, the mountain boasts runs for skiers and riders of all stripes, as well as an impressive snowpark.

    Ski three mountains and stretch the fun until late into the evening at Stoneham Mountain Resort, the biggest night skiing resort in Canada! Check out the popular après-ski scene and the hot tubs just outside the bar!

    Only one hour from Quebec City, Le Massif de Charlevoix offers the highest vertical drop east of the Canadian Rockies. Incredible landscapes and impressive snowfalls will make your experience memorable.
