Downhill skiing in Québec...

Exceptional conditions!

Le Massif de la Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, Charlevoix

With an average of 3 metres (10 ft.) of snow every season, almost 90 stations, night skiing unlike anywhere else in North America and the feeling of a never-ending celebration... it’s no wonder that a million skiers hit Québec’s slopes each winter! From late November to late April (and sometimes even into May), the sensational conditions at Québec’s ski stations guarantee a good time!

The best skiing in eastern North America

Québec’s ski stations, visited by international athletes and rookies alike, have a total of some 800 trails for skiers of all levels. Spread out over two major mountain ranges, the Laurentian Mountains and the Appalachians, most of these ski stations are conveniently located near the major cities. The province of Québec has three major ski areas: the Laurentides, the Québec City area (and Charlevoix) and the Eastern Townships.

The best après-ski around!

Some of our ski stations can be found in the heart of resort towns known all over the world. Excellent accommodations are situated at the foot of the slopes, with packages that include meals, lessons and lift tickets. Québec is known for its joie de vivre and its numerous winter carnivals and festivals, each one more exciting than the next. Here, the après-ski is a tradition, the nightlife is wild, and the dining is simply divine!

For a cozy winter... put on your skis and head to Québec!
