Down-Hill Skiing

Fans of every kind of skiing, come take advantage of the exceptional conditions available in Québec! With an average annual snowfall of 3 m (10 ft.) from November to April, it’s pure bliss!

Every winter in Québec, a million people enjoy themselves to the fullest on the ski slopes or snowboarding trails. Some 90 hills await you, most of them near Québec City or Montréal (in the Laurentian mountains and the Eastern Townships). In the resorts nestled directly at the foot of the hills, you can take pleasure in both skiing and après-ski activities!

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.
