Winter Adventures Amidst Spectacular National Parks Nunavik shelters true gems of nature that are sure to delight fans of the great outdoors and winter sports enthusiasts alike, whether it’s backcountry skiing, alpine snowshoeing, snowmobiling or even fat biking off the beaten tracks.
In the Kuururjuaq National Park, follow in the Inuit’s footsteps by taking the ancient path of the Koroc River valley winding frozen at the foot of the Torngat Mountains, the highest peaks of Québec.
In the Tursujuq National Park—the largest of Québec—explore frozen inland seas surrounded by Hudson cuestas, where you might encounter small herds of muskoxen, taken straight out of the Ice Age.
And should you choose to visit the Pingualuit National Park, be ready to travel to a moon-like landscape leading to the amazing meteoritic crater, the park’s treasure. All this while being immersed in the Inuit culture, sharing their traditional way of life daily during these authentic winter adventures. nunavikparks.ca/en DS
