Winter is a magical season in the maritime regions of Québec. The sky is a brilliant blue, a blanket of snow brightens the landscape, and the St. Lawrence is covered in ice. The cold season is also a perfect time to enjoy a host of fun outdoor activities.

What to do in our regions this winter

Head out to play in the national parks of Bic, Lac-Témiscouata, Gaspésie or Fjord-du-Saguenay! A wide selection of winter activities awaits you.
