Sugaring Off Season

Spring in Québec means sugaring off, with many Quebecers heading out to their favourite sugar shack for a hearty meal dripping in syrup. Treat your taste buds in some of the prettiest maple groves.

Spring Skiing

Mention de source MSA

Cruise down the slopes under the warm spring sun and enjoy the best après‑ski of the season at any of the 4 ski hills in the Québec City region. Weather permitting, Mont-Sainte-Anne should offer the longest ski season by extending its operations until April 23, 2023.

Religious Heritage

Step into Québec City’s rich religious heritage. Where will you start? Your options include the first Catholic parish in North America, the oldest pilgrimage site north of Mexico City, the only holy door in the Americas, and the first Anglican cathedral built outside the British Isles.

Nordic Spas

Feel like lounging around in a hammock? Snacking in a bathrobe? Relaxing in a hot bath under the open sky? Sounds like you’re ready for a little rest and relaxation at one of the Nordic spas in the city or the surrounding area.
