There’s no denying winter in Montréal and Québec City, where temperatures can regularly dip to –5°F (–20°C) or lower for weeks on end. However, while many North Americans live in denial of their semi-Nordic surroundings, Québeckers embrace winter. By April, locals have had enough of snow, slush, and those speeding sidewalk plows that terrorize pedestrians. But from November to March, locals whisk away the winter blues by dressing properly — and plenty stylishly — and then skiing, snowboarding, skating, snowshoeing, and, let’s be honest, eating and drinking to their heart’s content.
Join the fun and dive right into the season by taking your trip during Québec City’s Winter Carnival or Montréal’s Fête des Neiges (Snow Festival), both in February. In either city, you’re less than an hour from great skiing and snowboarding destinations, such as Mont Tremblant or Mont Ste-Anne. If you really can’t take the cold, you can always retreat to Montréal’s underground city, where you never have to leave the safety of central heating to visit a number of museums, shopping centers, skyscraper lobbies, and major hotels.
