Regions
Enjoy Nunavik
Nunavik is a vast pristine territory of over 500,000 km2 located above the 55th parallel. Its name means "great land" in the Inuit language. The Torngat Mountains, home of Quebec's highest peak, create a prime habitat for caribou as well as a great challenge for hikers and climbers. Nunavik is also a dream region for hunters and fishers in search of new experiences and a change of scenery, thanks to many outfitters on the land.
Animal-watching beyond the 55th parallel
While Nunavik lends itself perfectly to adventure, the region is also ideal for discreet animal-watching. The polar bear, which can be seen from late July to early September, reigns as the true king of the Arctic. A stay in the region is also the chance to see a whole diversity of species, both on land and in the water. In addition to musk oxen, caribou, tundra wolves and Arctic foxes, you also have the chance to observe impressive marine wildlife not to mention numerous migratory birds.
Explore amazing national parks in Northern Quebec
Nunavik boasts remarkable national parks that invite adventurers to go on awe-inspiring outdoor journeys and take on superior challenges. Parc national des Pingualuit is known for an impressive lake nestled inside a meteorite crater, while Parc national Kuururjuaq is where you’ll find Quebec’s highest peak, Mont d’Iberville in the Torngat mountain range. And at Parc national Tursujuq, the largest national park in Quebec, choose from all-inclusive trips and enjoy traditional activities! Lastly, at Parc national Ulittaniujalik, you can go on canoe-camping or mountain hiking expeditions.
