5 looks for your outdoor activities in Quebec this winter
Spending time outdoors is as popular as ever among Quebecers who are eager to get out of the house, take a break from their screens and enjoy a change of scenery. At a time when most indoor entertainment is discouraged, restricted or prohibited altogether, you might as well take advantage of the activities that are permitted, and do it in style! In this article, the Ernest team proposes outfits to go with five fun outings that’ll give you a break from your routine and allow you to spend quality time with loved ones.
- Go skating with your partner or family bubble
Many local rinks and ice skating trails — some of which run through beautiful forested areas — are closer than you think in Quebec. Find out which options are nearest you, and get ready for a memorable few hours spent with your significant other or the kids.
Whether you find yourself surrounded by trees or municipal buildings, make sure your skates are sharp and that you’re wearing the appropriate clothing. For skating, the essentials include:
- A warm sweater worn over a T-shirt
- Cotton velour pants (or jeans with long johns)
- A parka jacket
- Winter accessories (a hat, scarf and gloves)
If you want to get a game of hockey going or practise your shots, bring along sticks and a few pucks as well.
- Stroll through a national park
- A T-shirt worn beneath a casual shirt and cardigan
- A pair of jeans or chinos
- A puffer jacket or short parka
- Ankle boots (with insulated soles and ice cleats, as needed)
- An insulated thermos of coffee or hot chocolate
- Attend an outdoor light show or exhibition
- A shirt worn beneath a merino sweater
- A pair of jeans or chinos
- A sleeveless puffer vest with a wool coat
- Lined leather gloves
- A winter hat
- A nice scarf
- Visit an outdoor public market

Enjoying the present moment is crucial to keep your spirits up during these trying times, and every minute of quality time spent with the loved ones in your bubble is precious.
