6 options to create a fall getaway, your way!

The relaxation option – make it all about downtime

Fall is the perfect season to slow down and take some time for yourself. At Hôtel Montfort, in Nicolet, colourful scenery adds to the appeal of a wellness getaway. Unwind at the spa, soak up the views from the rooftop patio or simply relax in the comfort of your room. Access to the thermal experience is included with most packages, including the Colors and Flavors package, designed to help you savour all that fall has to offer. Complete your stay with bistro-style cuisine at the hotel’s restaurant, where the menu is reinvented with every season.

The nature option – get your fill of fall foliage

Located about 30 minutes from Trois-Rivières, the Gentilly River Regional Park offers a chance to unplug and enjoy an adventure amidst the beauty of fall. Explore the hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking trails, and take part in the variety of activities offered throughout the season. Best of all, you can extend your time in nature with an overnight stay right on site, with accommodations ranging from chalets and ready-to-camp units to a night camping beneath the stars.

Looking to escape further? Head to the Côte-Nord region and take in the breathtaking scale of its landscapes. In Forestville, about an hour from Tadoussac, enjoy a round at Golf Le Méandre surrounded by fall colours, stroll along the St. Lawrence River on the Baie Verte trail or get some fresh air at ZEC de Forestville. Then make yourself home at Hôtel Le Danube Bleu in the heart of town. Unwind with a drink at Le Chianti Pub or sit down for a delicious meal at Restaurant Le Danube Bleu.

The family option – an activity kids will love

Discover North American wildlife against a stunning backdrop of fall colours at Parc Omega! With the whole family along for the adventure, hop in your vehicle and explore the 12-kilometre safari route, where you can observe animals up close in their natural habitats. Animal presentations, a farm visit and walking trails offer plenty to discover for all ages. After dark, take things up a notch with the Oniro nighttime trail, combining projections, lights and sound. And why not make it an overnight stay? Sleep on site in a cottage next to the wolves, in a panoramic cottage, in a pod or in a ready-to-camp unit. 

The city break option – Gatineau and Québec City await!

This fall, experience Gatineau in all its colourful glory. At Le Parc Gatineau, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, you’re at the heart of the action, just steps from Casino du Lac-Leamy and about 10 minutes from Ottawa, with easy access to many of the region’s great spots. After a day exploring the city, recharge at nearby Parc du Lac-Leamy, relax in the hotel’s heated indoor pool or keep the evening going at the casino. Then retreat to the comfort of your room and take some time to fully savour your city escape.

History buff? Set your sights on Old Québec! Located in a heritage building dating back to 1899, Hôtel Manoir Vieux-Québec is an ideal base for discovering the city’s unique charms. After a day exploring Terrasse Dufferin, the Citadelle de Québec, the Plains of Abraham, the Petit-Champlain neighbourhood and the city’s many art galleries, head to the hotel’s rooftop terrace for a stunning view of the surrounding fall colours. Then unwind in the hot tub or savour a glass of wine in the lounge before retreating to your cozy room for a good night’s sleep.

The flavour option – ideal for foodies and fall fans

Fairmont Le Château Montebello puts the flavours of the season front and centre, surrounded by a spectacular display of fall colours. Make the most of your stay by dining at the hotel’s various restaurants and discovering cuisine inspired by local products and seasonal ingredients. To take the experience up a notch, plan your stay around Autumn Harvest, a gourmet evening featuring local products and delicious food-and-wine pairings carefully selected by guest of honour and sommelier Véronique Rivest. Don’t miss it on October 30, 2026!

The waterside option – a vacation by the lake

At Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant, fall is best enjoyed by the shores of Lake Ouimet. With colourful forests reflected in its peaceful waters, the lake provides a beautiful backdrop for making the most of the season. Until mid-October, kayaks, canoes and pedal boats are available for guests to head out on the water and see the landscape from a different perspective. You can also relax on the sandy beach and simply enjoy the view. As the air gets cooler, warm up by the fireplace, savour a meal at Whisky Bar or unwind in the sauna.
