Snow Sliding
This cool winter activity is available in all its forms in the area
In the Québec area, we've been sliding for a long time! Did you know that, in the middle of the 19th century, people used to toboggan on the hills on the Plains of Abraham? Since then, sliding has become one of the region's most popular winter activities. Companies that specialize in this activity offer a variety of services and ways to go sliding so you can get the most out of this family outing.
Village Vacances Valcartier
North America's largest winter playground features more than 35 slides for the whole family. Scream with excitement on the Himalaya, Everest or in the Avalanche sector. You can slide on an individual inner tube, or whirl down on the Tornado, a huge tube that can accommodate 3 to 8 people. Or whizz down the slopes on a snow raft that can hold up to 12 people! There's a children's playground for the little ones. The site also features 17 mechanical lifts.
