A Four-season Outdoor Playground


Quebec City offers a huge variety of outdoor activities, a multitude of sports and recreational activities all year round, from mountain hiking to dogsledding. Quebec City : the ideal destination, in any season, for anyone who loves the great outdoors.

Surrounded by the Laurentians, lakes, rivers and the majestic Saint Lawrence River. Rare are the cities on nature's very doorstep, where urban living melds seamlessly with outdoor enjoyment. Some of the most popular outdoor activities are found right within the city.




Opportunities for rock climbing, paragliding, mountain biking, nature observation, golfing, fishing & hunting, hiking & trekking, skiing & boarding, dogsledding, cycling, canoeing & whitewater rafting ... only minutes away from downtown; along with a plethora of outdoor events and happenings in Old Quebec and on the Plains of Abraham.

Within minutes of the center of town are mountains, lakes, rivers, protected wilderness areas, rolling farmland, and much more.
