Alternative and unique accommodations in rouyn-noranda during winter

When winter arrives in Rouyn-Noranda, nature changes its pace. Noises soften under the snow, forests become more intimate, and every night seems brighter under a starry sky. Whether you’re a local or just passing through in search of originality and tranquility, this is the ideal season to choose an accommodation that is an integral part of the experience—combining comfort, immersion, and disconnection.

Les Racines du p’tit Isidore: with winter as your playground

Les Racines du p’tit Isidore offers a cozy, well-equipped yurt or cottage designed to combine nature and comfort. What makes this location particularly appealing in winter is the availability of snowshoes, sleds, three skis, and even the option to rent a fishing cabin.

From the balcony, the view of the Kinojévis River adds a contemplative dimension to your stay: sunrises, winter silence, and evenings perfect for stargazing. In winter, it’s the perfect place if you like the idea of a simple, cozy retreat where you can naturally alternate between indoors and outdoors.

Chalets Baie Solitaire: warmth, nature, and spa in the middle of winter

The highlight: the experience of a spa set in the heart of nature, designed for relaxation. It’s the kind of contrast that makes winter particularly satisfying: the cold air, the calm, then the warmth that relaxes everything.

Everything you need for an uncomplicated experience.

Chalet Sérénity: lake views, winter silence

At Chalet Sérénity, winter is lived at a slower pace, with Lake Bruyère as a backdrop. As soon as you arrive, you understand why people come here: large windows that let in light and offer a panoramic view of a soothing landscape. It’s the kind of place where you naturally unwind—a coffee in your hands, your gaze lost in the distance, and the feeling that everything becomes simpler.

When the urge to go outside takes over, you can simply enjoy the great outdoors: a few steps on snowshoes on the lake, a quiet walk in the cold air, and why not try some ice fishing to add a little touch of adventure. Then, returning to the cottage is particularly satisfying—you warm up, slow down, and feel like you’ve really unplugged.

Chalets Lac Kanasuta: outside, inside, and why not some ‘après-ski’ to top it off

At Lac Kanasuta Chalets, the winter experience takes care of itself: enjoy the great outdoors, then come back to comfort, again and again. The site offers direct access to Lac Kanasuta and a host of options to fill your days according to your mood: snowshoeing, ice fishing, campfires… and above all, what we love about winter: the chance to end the day in relaxation mode, with a spa and sauna to unwind in one fell swoop.

It’s a destination that’s just as suitable for a getaway for two as it is for a stay with family or friends, because it’s easy to find your own rhythm here. And if you’re in the mood for more winter sports, the Kanasuta Outdoor Center is not far away—perfect for combining the slopes with a gentle return to the cottage, where the evening stretches out without a schedule.
