Quebec does not have mountain ranges as towering or expansive as those in British Columbia or Alberta, but you can find some of Canada's best ski resorts in this province. Plus, you can't beat how accessible it is to people living on the East Coast. Whether you're traveling to Montreal or Quebec City, you'll find plenty of top-grade destinations within driving distance of either location..
Mont Tremblant is perhaps the most well-known ski resort in Eastern Canada, located in the Laurentian Mountains outside of Montreal. You'll feel like you're in the Alps as soon you step into the charming ski village at the base of the mountain, with its quaint French village architecture and European plaza filled with cafes, pubs, and restaurants..
If you're around the Quebec City area, you'll have even more options. Mont Sainte-Anne is only 30 minutes outside of the city, and you'll get breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River while gliding down one of the 71 trails. Many skiers at Mont Sainte-Anne also spend a day at Le Massif de Charlevoix just a little farther north, which features the highest vertical drop in Eastern Canada for true thrill-seekers..
Quebec doesn't enjoy the same temperate climate that you'll find in Western Canada, so definitely bundle up. The wind can be especially harsh and icy, so pack items that won't leave any exposed areas of skin..
