Accommodations for a family getaway
Welcome to the Outaouais, where family adventures come to life. Escape into nature, where a plethora of outdoor activities awaits you. If you want to unwind but still be close to everything, opt for an urban getaway! Rediscover your childhood with this list of suggestions and, above all, have fun! To make the experience that bit better, extend your stay and choose from a variety of charming accommodations. Family is important—cherish every moment!
WINTER IS FOR FAMILY FUN
At the Base de plein air Air-Eau-Bois, you’ll find a variety of exciting family activities to do in winter. Try out snow tubing for guaranteed laughs, head out on a cross-country skiing trip or strap on some snowshoes and explore the trails for a fun winter adventure. Try out an unusual activity: hok skiing. Hok skiing is much easier than its cross-country counterpart, especially for kids! The normal scales or ski wax are replaced by synthetic seal skin, helping the intrepid explorer move along the snow. If you prefer skating, the outdoor rink is perfect for making magical family moments. Finish the day off warming up around a campfire.
32 Chem. de la Base de Plein Air, Denholm, Quebec
Find the perfect spot where you and your family will feel right at home in the middle of the forest! Extend your stay by booking a night (or more) in one of these accommodations.
PURE ADVENTURE
Throw yourself into winter by planning a cozy family stay in one of the inviting chalets at the Centre touristique du Lac-Simon. Wake up each morning with a spectacular view across the frozen lake, ready to explore the 12 km of cross-country skiing trails and the 17 km of snowshoeing and hiking trails. Feel like a kid again with a spot of snow tubing, or try out some ice fishing at the Lac de la Ferme. In the evening, warm up by the wood stove in the comfort of your chalet.
