Quebec New Years

Quebec New Year’s Celebration Canada / Dec. 27, 2008 - Jan. 3, 2009

Picture yourself in a walled city recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage treasure, complete with breathtaking architecture, incredible restaurants and nature at its finest only minutes away. Add in a warm French-flavored welcome, a vibrant cultural scene and thousands of twinkling Christmas lights and you have the ingredients for holiday magic. Inviting and welcoming in French or English, Quebec City has that special magic – a mixture of vitality and rich tradition. Blessed with an exceptional natural setting, Quebec City has a charm all its own and offers the best of two worlds – a modern resort city that is faithful to its 400 year old heritage and a nature lovers paradise.

In Quebec City, winter is more than just a season; it’s a feeling- a time when nature transforms everything into a snowy wonderland. In fact, Quebec City is one of the top ski destinations east of the Rockies with three major ski areas within a 30-minute drive from city center. Our trip will include guided ski days at Stoneham, Mont Sainte Anne and Le Massif – a great opportunity to

explore three different mountains with the convenience of direct shuttle service right from our hotel to the slopes.

Our hotel, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is not just a hotel located in the heart of Old Quebec City – it is the heart of Old Quebec! The hotel is located on a high bluff overlooking the mighty Saint Lawrence River, thus allowing a spectacular view for several miles all around. The Château Frontenac is the most prominent feature of the Quebec City skyline, giving it the status of an icon for the region. Although originally built in 1893, the hotel has been completely updated with every modern convenience and all the amenities of a world-class destination hotel. With its distinctive European charm and castle-like architecture, the Château Frontenac is sure to create a memorable experience with a fairytale ambience – what better way to usher in a new year!

We will celebrate New Year’s Eve in grand style with a dinner and dance at the hotel’s Café de la Terrasse. The New Year will start at a leisurely pace with a mid-morning brunch followed by several options for afternoon activities.

This trip has everything; accommodations at one of the most famous hotels in North America, convenient skiing at three different areas, city and cultural tours, dinners at renowned restaurants, and an elegant New Year’s Eve celebration. Come with us to embrace the “joie de vivre” and hospitality of this North American treasure – Quebec City!
