Nordic Sports & Winter
Winter in Quebec: Nordic sports, activities, and warm stops at Carrera Café
Quebec embraces winter with a passion that confounds visitors from the South. Skiing, skating, snowshoeing, fat biking, sliding. And after the Nordic effort, an essential stop: Carrera Café, warm and welcoming in Petit-Champlain.
Quebec Winter
A winter to live, not endure
Quebec receives on average 300 cm of snow per year. Rather than hiding away, Quebecers go out, ski, slide, and celebrate. Winter here is a way of life.
The white magic of Quebec
Covered in fresh snow, Old Quebec becomes a fairytale setting. Snow-covered ramparts, the Château Frontenac lit up under a December sky, children’s laughter on the slides of Terrasse Dufferin. The city seems to invent a new way of being beautiful.
Nordic Sports
Quebec's winter arsenal
Alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking, ice skating: Quebec offers a range of winter activities that few cities in the world can match.
Skiing at Mont-Sainte-Anne
The region's major resort, 40 minutes from Quebec City. 71 trails, including several expert level. The go-to ski destination.
Cross-country skiing at the Plains
In winter, the Plains of Abraham become a network of cross-country ski trails in the heart of the city. Free and beautiful.

Fat Biking on Snow
Quebec's fat bike trails are numerous and well maintained. A unique feeling: pedaling on compact snow in the silence of winter.
