Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier

Open in the winter

Thirty minutes by car from Québec City and you're in Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier. The park’s landscape is a vast mountainous plateau cut with deep valleys. It hosts one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in Québec, the spectacular Vallée de la Jacques-Cartier. The Jacques Cartier River, calm in some places and turbulent in others, has sliced a 550-metre-deep channel into the plateau. A coniferous forest dominates the high plateaus, and deciduous trees people the deep valleys. Here, nature is both inspiring and serene.
