When winter sets in, our cities and landscapes transform into true fairytale scenes. The crisp air that brings a rosy glow to our cheeks, the snow crunching underfoot, the illuminated streets… everything contributes to creating a unique atmosphere, both festive and warm. Winter turns our destinations into real-life postcards!
Travel Inspirations
Niagara Falls

At Niagara Falls, the spectacle is simply breathtaking. The water still roars, but the frosty mist adorns the trees and rocks with a sparkling mantle. As night falls, colorful light displays transform the scenery into an icy work of art, shaped by nature itself.
Nearby, Clifton Hill comes alive like a giant playground, with attractions, arcades, and a festive atmosphere that delights both young visitors and their companions. And each winter, the Winter Festival of Lights brightens the city, as millions of twinkling lights and artistic installations turn Niagara into a truly enchanting winter wonderland.
Toronto

Ottawa

Montreal

In Montreal, the magic of winter takes on a unique dimension. Old Montreal is adorned with a thousand lights, and its snow-covered cobblestone streets evoke Europe. The Old Port skating rink welcomes families and friends, with the Ferris wheel and the frozen river as a backdrop. Add to this the interactive light installations of LUMINO on Sainte-Catherine Street, and you have a city where winter becomes a celebration of culture and joie de vivre.
Quebec

In Quebec City, winter is celebrated like a festival. The Quebec Winter Carnival enchants with its monumental ice sculptures, nighttime parades, canoe races, and the joyful presence of the legendary Bonhomme Carnaval. The Ice Hotel welcomes visitors into a magical world: sculpted rooms, sparkling chandeliers, an ice bar… a place that feels like stepping into a dream. For adrenaline lovers, nothing beats Village Vacances Valcartier, with its giant slides, snow rafting descents, and icy corridors that spark laughter and thrilling sensations.
Winnipeg

Each year, the Festival du Voyageur brings Saint-Boniface’s Francophone quarter to life with performances, snow sculptures, and activities inspired by the era of the voyageurs.
At the Forks National Historic Site, students can skate on the world’s longest river skating rink and explore an indoor market filled with small restaurants and local shops. Located at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, it has been a historic meeting place for over 6,000 years, used by Indigenous peoples for trade and cultural exchange. Later, it became a hub for the fur trade and played a key role in the founding of Winnipeg.
For a unique challenge, Saint-Adolphe’s Snow Maze—the largest snow maze in the world—offers a snowy adventure that is as fun as it is impressive.
Vibrant, welcoming, and proud of its roots, Winnipeg proves that winter can be the most beautiful season of all.
