The Perfect 3-Day Winter Itinerary in Saguenay

For the snowmobile tour, Saguenay Aventures will take care of the rental and guide you throughout the journey. Their team of experienced guides will make you feel safe while showing you the most stunning winter landscapes.

If you choose Mont-Édouard, you’ll discover a mountain with 450 meters of vertical drop. Prefer something different? Swap alpine skiing or snowboarding for a fatbike adventure instead!

To end your day on a high note, how about a warm spa surrounded by a magical snowy setting? Head to Spa Édouard-les-bains for a well-deserved moment of relaxation!

To kick off your second day, how about a snowshoeing adventure in the La Baie district?

If you’re visiting between mid-January and early March, take the opportunity to try ice fishing. On the frozen waters of the Saguenay Fjord, you’ll have the chance to catch a wide variety of fish—a truly unique, one-of-a-kind Saguenay experience!
If ice fishing hasn’t started yet, you can still dive into the fascinating world of the Saguenay Fjord at the Fjord Museum.

Discover all the secrets of this immense body of water and its rich history.

After these activities, we invite you to explore the Port Village. Located on the shores of the Saguenay Fjord, this charming spot welcomes tens of thousands of visitors from around the world each year. It offers an exceptional view of the mountains surrounding the fjord—a true postcard-perfect setting.

If you’re in Saguenay in mid-February, you can’t miss Festi-Frette! As its name suggests, this winter festival takes place outdoors and promises plenty of fun with a fiery program that will warm you up. Year after year, Festi-Frette features live music, DJ entertainment, inflatable games, a relaxation zone, food stands serving Québec specialties—all in a festive atmosphere that will make you forget February’s chill!

To wrap up your stay in style, we suggest visiting Monts-Valin National Park or the Le Valinouët ski resort—two must-see winter attractions.
Head to the stunning vallée des Fantômes, where phenomenal snowfall each winter transforms the landscape into a magical world of snow-covered trees. This enchanting spot is famous worldwide for its unique beauty!

If you’re more into alpine skiing or snowboarding, Le Valinouët is a must. It stands out for a rare feature: it’s one of the only ski resorts with 100% natural snow! With two slopes and 36 runs, you’ll love your time at “Vali.”

To end these three days on a high note, stroll down Racine Street in downtown Chicoutimi. Explore local boutiques and savor delicious restaurants offering flavors from around the world. With winter’s snowy charm, Racine Street is especially magical this time of year.
