Duchesnay
"Mon pays c'est l'hiver!" That's what Québecers say. Québec offers a panoply of winter activities, and we needed a break from winter in the city (slush, 2m snow banks, traffic jams, crowded metro). So we drove to Station Touristique Duchesnay, 250kms from MTL, close to Québec City.
We started very early on Saturday with dog sledding, afterwards a 4km snowshoeing tour (with those Eskimo tennis rackets on your feet) through 2m of snow (I kid you not!), downhill tube sliding, ice skating and hockey (agains 4 year olds - they still beat the shit out of me) and finally 2 hours hot/cold relaxing in a Finnish sauna and hot tub, to finally end the day with a succulent meal. Next day we slept in, visited the Ice Hotel and had a late brunch. A relaxing drive back to Montréal, a blitzbesuch to IKEA (T. keeps on breaking the wine glasses) and TV dinner. Here are the pics:
