A memorable winter weekend in Port-Cartier
This 3-day, 2-night itinerary invites you to slow down and discover Port-Cartier from a winter perspective. Between outdoor activities, moments of relaxation, and local discoveries, let yourself be charmed by a destination that is as welcoming as it is beautiful.
Friday afternoon
Arrival under the sign of nordicity
To begin your stay, you arrive at Auberge du Nord-Côtier, which will be your home base for the entire weekend. Settle into its rustic-chic décor, take in the breathtaking view of Rivière-Pentecôte Bay, and let yourself be inspired by the unique atmosphere of Nordic culture. Breathe. Admire.
Saturday morning
Cross-country skiing at the outdoor recreation center
After breakfast at the inn, head to Les Goélands Outdoor Recreation Centre. With nearly 25 km of impeccably groomed hiking and cross-country ski trails, the site appeals to both families and experienced skiers alike. Silence and snow-covered forest: a winter must.
Late afternoon
A gourmet break at Pub St-Bernard
After a day spent outdoors, head to Port-Cartier for a well-deserved meal. At Pub St-Bernard, you'll be welcomed into a warm and inviting atmosphere where every product is carefully selected. The perfect place to recharge, glass in hand.
Sunday morning
Snowshoeing at sunrise
You wake up to the golden morning light and head to the snowshoe trails of Rivière-Pentecôte and the nearby shoreline, just steps from the inn. A peaceful setting to start the day on the right foot.
Sunday afternoon
Blizz'Art Festival finale
To wrap up this Nordic weekend, head to McCormick Island for the final day of the Blizz'Art Festival. Admire the giant snow sculptures, enjoy the activities, and take part in the public vote. Ephemeral art… leaving a lasting impression!
The weekend comes to a gentle close. It's time to hit the road again, with a rested mind and lasting memories of your Port-Cartier getaway.
