Snowy expanses as far as the eye can see, forming a magical landscape—a winter setting that fits the Laurentians like a glove. When its mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests are covered in pure white, the region shows another side of its personality. The bracing air, the blazing sun, and the ephemeral beauty of snowflakes swirling in the wind turn it into a veritable winter wonderland. The silent winter cold reigns over the territory’s wide-open spaces, greeting all who venture in, until the sound of laughter breaks the silence of a landscape seemingly frozen in time. It is then that the joys of the new season become apparent. Athletes and recreationists can play outside to their hearts’ content. There’s also ample opportunity for quiet reflection. Whether the goal is to have fun and play in the heart of nature or simply enjoy a moment of calm, the Laurentians have something to enchant visitors of every type.
