Experiencing winter in Québec goes beyond walking the streets of Old Québec and sipping hot chocolate, shopping at Christmas markets and admiring the beauty of Hôtel de Glace. While there are plenty of activities to keep you busy in the city, one of the best ways to experience winter in Québec happens outdoors on the seat of a snowmobile as you glide over fresh snow and drive through jaw-dropping landscapes.

Planning the ultimate snowmobile adventure starts with choosing a great hotel. Surrounded by nature, close to the city centre and snowmobile trails, the Doubletree By Hilton Quebec Resort is one of the top hotels for snowmobile lovers. Here’s why your Québec City snowmobile adventure should start there:

Winter is a wonderful season for relaxing the body and rejuvenating the spirit. A time when we can slow down, and be a little selfish. After a full day of fun take advantage of La Faune Spa et Détente and treat yourself to a massage, a soak in the heated spa pool or Nordic thermal bath before relaxing in their Finnish sauna! Top it off with a cocktail or iced cider from the hotel’s ice bar. 

Enjoy Delicious French Cuisine

Whether you have spent the day snowmobiling or stayed in to relax and rejuvenate, make time to enjoy a delicious meal at Restaurant Le Dijon. Featuring a menu inspired by our French heritage, the cuisine at Le Dijon highlights local fare. While dinner is a favourite, Le Dijon also offers a delightful breakfast, as well as Sunday Brunch ––an excellent way to start your day. If you’re a beer connoisseur, visit the hotel’s Best Brew night which takes place every Wednesday and highlights local beers.
