Nature

Take your breath

Come and experience the natural wonders of Portneuf. One of our most outstanding highlights is the majestic Laurentian mountain range, where visitors can enjoy a myriad of activities at its two most popular sites: Vallée Bras-du-Nord and Parc naturel régional de Portneuf.

Head on to the St. Lawrence River and meander along Quebec’s historic Chemin du Roy (“King’s Road”), which will take you through several of the province’s most beautiful villages whose wharves and roadside rest areas provide stunning river views.

Lastly, to make your stay in Portneuf an unforgettable experience, be sure to explore our lakes and rivers and enjoy the serenity and recreational activities they have to offer.
