Enjoy Québec

Winter is shaping up to be unforgettable in Québec City: the Hôtel de Glace (ice hotel) is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion in style, it has partnered with the legendary Fairmont Le Château Frontenac to offer visitors a truly unique experience! From January 17 to March 15, 2025, a 52-seat pop-up restaurant — the only one built entirely out of ice and snow in the Americas — will open within the hotel, where you’ll be able to enjoy a three-course gourmet meal in the enchanting setting of this iconic establishment. But that’s not all, other exciting surprises are in store! Plan your visit or book your themed room or suite now to make the most of this winter wonderland experience.

Get ready for a vibrant, festive winter in Québec City! From February 7 to 16, 2025, the legendary Québec Winter Carnival celebrates all things winter with ice and snow sculptures, a majestic ice palace, nighttime parades and more. But no need to wait to fully embrace winter. Starting December 21, 2024, the Gougoune et Doudoune event, produced by the Carnival, promises 34 days of extreme fun where you can climb on a giant bear, go tubing and race on electric tri-ski sleds, among other activities! Want to try ice fishing? Head to the Village Nordik from February 7 to March 9, 2025, to fish for trout in the Bassin Louise and enjoy the onsite entertainment. And from February 14 to 23, 2025, take on the ultimate challenge of the Pentathlon des Neiges, the world’s largest winter multisport event, combining skating, skiing, snowshoeing, running, and cycling, whether as a group or by yourself!
