Escaping outdoors means choosing comfort and tranquillity without compromise. Picture yourself in a cozy retreat, with a wood fire and a view of nature in transition. It’s the perfect excuse to take your time, away from daily stress. At Dômes Outaouais and HillHaus Dômes Pontiac, you’ll be in your own bubble! At Lac-Sainte-Marie, Dômes Outaouais’ four-season dome is warmed by a wood stove, while at HillHaus, you’ll admire the stars from your private terrace spa. At Chalets Prunella, minimalist-design retreats nestled in 75 acres of private forest invite you to rest, while at Refuges des Collines, a fireplace, a spa and a fondue set await you, steps from the Nakkertok cross-country ski trails. The photos will be gorgeous, we promise! At the Base de plein air Air-Eau-Bois, you have several options: micro-chalets, micro-retreats and more! The choice is yours! For its part, HOM Mini Chalets offers a relaxing getaway in chalets raised on piles! Near Montebello, you can also discover the luxury chalets of Kenauk Nature and all the activities available on site. At Lac-Simon, Domaine Lockbøw offers Scandinavian-design chalets nestled in the forest, on the banks of the Petite Nation River, with snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails nearby. In the Vallée-de-la-Gatineau, Mini Chalets Oasis Blue Sea offers a view of the snowy lake, a wood stove and even a fondue kit. The Outaouais has plenty of warm accommodations. Explore on your own!

A picture is worth a thousand words! Can you smell those comforting dishes? So can I! As well as tasting dishes lovingly prepared by passionate people, I invite you to discover cozy cafés, sweet treats and pastries, and the best places to brunch in the Outaouais. You’ll thank me later!

In the Outaouais, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to unwinding! Choose from our list of spas to discover or rediscover. Several destinations, like Fairmont Le Château Montebello, the Hôtel-Casino Lac-Leamy – Loto-Québec entertainment complex, or Hotel V, also offer relaxation areas for guests. Psst... Have you ever stayed at Moksä Spa? It’s a true sanctuary of well-being that combines thermotherapy with luxury chalets. A must-try!

For outdoor lovers, nothing beats an escape into the heart of the forest. Aventure Hélianthe is the perfect place to combine physical activities, followed by a well-earned break, warm in your snowsuit by a fire! Also try the region’s microbreweries or the products of Artist in Residence, because winter’s joys are also about sharing good times over a good beer or a personalized cocktail!

Imagine an interior space: it’s sweet and appealing, every room telling the story of a local artisan with decor that will warm your heart and your home, and your whole community.   Stop by Lavandine et Cie for natural body care products, or La Petite Grocerie where you will find all kinds of products. The Apothecary - La Fée des Bois makes products with medicinal plants that come straight from a farm! For environmentally responsible products used daily, you can find everything you need at the Bulles et chiffons boutique.
