Welcome to Western Québec
The Laurentian region is world famous for its towering mountains, charming towns and world-class skiing. World-class dining and extraordinary inns crown the unique culture of the region, encompassing festivals, charming mountain towns and natural wonders.
Visit the Tremblant Resort and ski, snowboard, or hike the famous Mont-Tremblant. Take in the natural wonder of the region in the summer by cycling the 200 km long “P’tit train du Nord trail” or spending time in Québec’s largest protected territory, Parc national du Mont-Tremblant. The Saint-Sauveur valley is home to the Lac des Deux-Montagnes, where swimmers travel each summer to enjoy the long beaches, while the Red River (Riviere Rouge) provides challenging river rafting adventures.
More than 4000 lakes and rivers crisscross the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, where glaciers have carved the rugged landscape. So much open space makes this a haven for fishing, hunting and canoeing through wildlife and nature reserves. Take in the region’s history, explore the Lamaque Mine, and learn of the area’s once-prosperous fur trade.
The unique culture of Canada is evident in the Outaouais region of the province. Across the Ottawa River from the parliamentary buildings sits Gatineau, brimming with parks, an enthusiastic nightlife, and exceptional museums such as the Canadian Museum of Civilization, which represents 10,000 years of Canadian history. In Montebello you can tour the area’s gourmet restaurants, or try your luck at the Casino du Lac-Leamy,
