Experience Canada’s Famous Winter Carnaval
Winter in Québec City offers a unique icebreaker, when the whole city turns out to celebrate the season. One of the benefits of incentive travel is the opportunity to build and reinforce corporate culture with experiences that take delegates outside their comfort zone. When you embrace winter in Québec City, you can transform your team with snow and ice experiences, breaking down barriers and building up camaraderie in the process. From Québécois-style winter games at a secluded sugar shack, to celebrations on ice in North America’s only ice hotel — everyone will come away from this experience significantly more chill.
Winter team building takes on a whole new element when it takes place in Québec City during Carnaval: 17 days of non-stop festivities, and one of the best times for incentive winners to experience the true warmth of Quebec hospitality.
Here, groups can feel the excitement watching canoes race across the ice-choked St. Lawrence River and back; or they can take part in their own corporate canoe team building challenge. Corporate teams could watch artists from 30 international teams compete in creating giant, fantastical sculptures from 360 remarkable tons of ice, or they can take part in private ice carving workshops to sculpt their own frozen creations. And why stare in wonder as a dog sled race winds through the narrow, snowy streets of the Old City, when the group can learn to mush their own team?
Québec City bustles year round, but it’s especially lively during Carnaval. Listen to fiddle music to keep warm outside a towering palace made of ice. Smell the sugary aroma of warm maple syrup and stop in for a sample. Skate in the shadow of the ramparts of the only walled city north of Mexico. Toast your team’s accomplishments with a caribou cocktails and a celebration dinner at the Hotel du Glace, North America’s only ice hotel. Better yet, offer up an overnight stay at the seasonal Hôtel de Glace (Ice Hotel) to truly experience the warmth of Québec City’s hospitality. Afterall, there’s nothing like bedding down on a solid slab of ice for the night to create long lasting memories and more than a few bragging rights.
