Destinations to discover

Northern Quebec

In the heartlands of the province of Québec lie two regions almost untouched by human hands. Comprised almost entirely of forests, the Abitibi and Saguenay regions are a must-see for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers … not to mention the namesakes of the VIA trains that will take you there.

On board the train, you will pass by crystal lakes and wild woodlands, fishing camps, hunting clubs, and snowmobile trails. The best part of all is that, if you feel like getting off, all you need to do is request a special stop – whether there is a scheduled stop or not!

Experience a wide range of outdoor activities, from first-class outfitted camping (including cooked meals), to dog sledding and ice climbing, to roughing it on your own. Travel by canoe through the waters of national and provincial parks, including the immense Réserve faunique La Vérendrye and the Réserve faunique des Laurentides.

Each train ends its journey near a populated region. The Saguenay travels to Lac-Saint-Jean, and then to Jonquière, near the fjord from which the region gets its name. The Abitibi route ends at Senneterre, which is a region that boasts a rich mining and forestry tradition.
