A Tour of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean from L’Anse St-Jean to Dolbeau
With winter coming our way, our rhythm of life has to change for a few months. Shoes are replaced by boots, jackets are swapped with warm coats and scarves and mittens are now part of the everyday clothing. You also need to install your winter tires and take out your shovel to clear the snow out of the driveway. In short, we are seriously thinking about taking a week off on a tropical island as soon as we can! But what if we rather decided to see the good side of winter and take the time to benefit from that season? In order to change your idea about winter, but most of all to make you enjoy this season a bit more, we invite you to visit the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region. Although the region is very popular in summer, it is often forgotten during the cold season. Yet the potential of the region is unlimited whatever the season.
When travelling in this beautiful “blueberry region”, you will have the chance, among other things, to see great natural beauties, travel through some of the most beautiful villages of Quebec, ride on a scenic route along the Saguenay fjord and be in awe in front of one of the largest lake in the province. And in winter, you will be surprised by the great number of snowmobilers who are taking by storm the numerous reserved trails of the region. Looking to join them or simply travel in the region? Seven main routes coming from five of the six neighbouring regions will give you an unforgettable snowmobile trip.
Our featured region is a true paradise for all winter lovers. Sportsmen and sportswomen can enjoy activities such as ice fishing, alpine and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing as well as dog sledding. Be sure that Promotion Saguenay will give you a hand in choosing your favourite activity. Enjoy skating on a one-kilometre ice rink at Roberval’s Village on Ice. See how animals have prepared for winter in their natural habitat at Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien. After a day of snowmobiling, relax your body at Spa Bain Sur Mer Saguenay offering you a wide range of massages. End your day at Hôtel Chicoutimi in order to sleep in a refined and tasteful room.
All of this as well as many other attractions await you this winter in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. You will definitely not regret your trip!
