Top 12 Things to do in Quebec City, Canada in the Winter

[@tomweiss9600]

Just got back from the Christmas Market in Quebec, that was a great time and we want to go back already. These are some great ideas for our next trip, thanks!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

The Christmas markets in Quebec must have been magical! Definitely, something I would love to see and experience someday.

[@Activities4life]

The winter carnival looks so fun - particularly the toboggan ride. The ice hotel looks really cool too.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thanks for watching. The hotel and the carnival was a lot of fun.

[@unstoppabledigitaltravelling]

Quabec looks very beautiful in winter. That's an informative video for people trying to visit in this time. Enjoyed it. Snowfall makes it magical.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

The snow definitely changes the feel of the city.

VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE,

Thank you for watching.

[@Migratory-Nerds]

I’ve only been to Quebec in the summer and it is totally different. The sled dog experience looked incredible!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

There is so much to do in the winter. The snow was very fairytale like. It was a lot of fun.

[@RagainAdventures]

Great Suggestions. The Ice Hotel looks amazing. Lots of work for 3 months availability. Love the tubing trails.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I can’t imagine putting all that work into the hotel to have it melt and get destroyed three months later. It is pretty amazing to see the detail in person.

[@thetravellingwelshman]

Wow that truly looks like such an amazing place to spend a vacation! That frozen waterfall really is quite incredible! Im sure there must be such amazing skiing opportunities around there too! I tried dog sledging before too, it really is such a wonderful experience! Great work as always my friend :)

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Thank you so much for watching. I have never seen a frozen waterfall before so it was a very neat to see. All the winter activities were so much fun.

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

wow! So different covered in snow! How much fun! The toboggan ride looks awesome! I visited back in 2004 but in Summer/Autumn and it was sunny every day! So different! the dog sledding looks even more fun so cool! Oh Polar bears too!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Going in the fall I bet would be beautiful also.

[@exploreaswego]

Wow what an extensive list of things to do! We have never been to Quebec and have also never really enjoyed the winter, but I know some of the things on the list can do in the summer! Great cap and definitely helpful for all those who want to explore during the winter! The ride looks the most fun on the sled along with the waterfall!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

The trip was so much fun. I definitely recommend checking out Quebec in the winter. The dog side is a must do if you’ve never done it before.

Quebec was -24F was the coldest we have been it. You definitely have to dress for it.

[@steviegee7116]

We stayed about 8 day around Quebec City and 5 days at Club Med. Have fun!

[@traveladvisorak6065]

That looks great with snow all around. Here in India it is exceptionally hot this time, the northern parts are like furnace this time around. All the places were great but the Ice hotel would be my pick.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

The ice hotel and dogsledding was definitely my favorite activities.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Quebec looks awesome. While it's probably pretty cold it almost seems like you should visit once in Winter. The snow backdrop across the City is beautiful. That hotel looks amazing. I'm a sucker for Castles or Castle like structures. The toboggan and festival looks fun. Those Falls are majestic. Always wanted to try an Ice Hotel. Yes to skiing for me. This is such an epic adventure. Quebec is definitely now on my list.

[@TravelingAtoZ]

We I told people that we were traveling to Quebec in the winter people thought we were crazy. After they saw and heard all the amazing things you can do people put this location on there places to travel. I recommend it. It is such a beautiful place and definitely an amazing place to visit.

[@invertedv12powerhouse77]

Le relais and Stoneham are the 2 closest places for skiing.

[@NancySuriel]

Can you provide information on who you booked snowmobiling tour with? Thanks!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

We went with Nord Expe Inc. we bought the ADVENTURE & OUTDOOR PASSPORT so it made it cheaper. Plus, the passport had other activities included. We did the half day snowmobile tour, which I felt was long enough. It was perfect for us. It was a great tour and we really enjoyed it

Do you recommend renting in a car during winter?

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I recommend getting a car to get around. It was very easy to drive. If you can get all wheel drive or four by four it would be best due to snow.

[@fonsos13]

Thanks for sharing Your experience. I'm headed to Quebec et Montreal for a long weekend getaway in February. I'm set for most activities in Montreal. It's been a challenge trying to choose an outfit for dog sledding near Quebec. Ice Hotel et Old Quebec are Primary reasons for visiting along with lots of Ice Skating

[@TravelingAtoZ]

Have fun! It is a winter playground for sure.

[@tessbeasley]

Ahhh I cannot decide wether we want to go in fall or winter next year. Such a tough decision!

[@TravelingAtoZ]

I don’t think you can go wrong either way. It is a beautiful area! In the fall you would have beautiful colored leaves. Winter you have the beautiful snow with the winter activities. Have a fun vacation.

I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country. To be fair, I randomly looked at videos from downtown Manchester and Concord in New Hampshire - Philadelphia - Detroit - Chicago - New York - Baltimore - Denver - Nashville, and Knoxville in the United States, and Toronto - Quebec - Montreal - Winnipeg - Calgary - Vancouver - Victoria - Ottawa and Thunder Bay in Canada. we should be fair. The bitter truth must be accepted. Without any exaggeration. Completely impartial. I have to say that I didn't see a single piece of garbage in any of the US videos to convince myself. Without exaggeration, in all Canadian cities, there must have been a piece of garbage on the ground less than every hundred meters. It must have an important reason. I do not know. But this is a bitter truth. You can try. This country should be brought closer to its exaggerated claim. the truth is bitter. Certainly, some Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia are much cleaner compared to Canada. Of course, we should not forget that Canada claims to be one of the 10 cleanest countries in the world. And Vancouver claims to be one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world. Please go to East Hastings or Victoria Drive or Commercial Drive or West Georgia or Broadway or Main Street and judge for yourself. I am 50 years old and have traveled to 26 countries. Canada is far from its claims. I saw, homeless people, pooping and peeing everywhere and it's so common. nobody cares. I was shocked again. I endured for 3 years but every day going worst. late in 2022, I decided to move to the east because I thought that place has a stronger culture. I chose Montreal. I had heard it is the capital of art and civilization in Canada. it was absolutely wrong. Canada is Canada. I was shocked again, again, and again. the wave of homelessness, graffiti, vandalism, bad smell, terrible infrastructure especially roads in or out of the city, and above all, you can see trash everywhere. plastic bags, tissues, water bottles, and disposable cups. You cannot see any street or park or public place without these. This is impossible. surprisingly nobody cares. neither the people nor the government!!!!!!! please, don't be fooled by the advertisement about a good Canada. please, be careful. most of the things about a good Canada are deception This country is disappointing. Please, Please, Please, don't immigrate to Canada you would regret it absolutely. this is not a developed country, Canada is a developing country with huge serious problems.
