Wednesday Walk : Val Saint-Côme, Quebec

For this #WednesdayWalk hosted by @tattoodjay, I'm back with the winter activities with my first ski outing. It was my first time in this ski resort of Val Saint-Côme in the heart of the Laurentians in Quebec. In winter, you have to know how to take advantage of the snow to spend pleasant days in the cold, and if you dress well, you'll have a lot of fun.

Pour ce #WednesdayWalk organisé par @tattoodjay, je reprends mes activités hivernales avec ma première sortie de ski. C'était ma première fois dans cette station de ski de Val Saint-Côme au coeur des Laurentides au Québec. En hiver, il faut savoir profiter de la neige pour passer d'agréables journées dans le froid, et bien habillé on s'amuse beaucoup.

Val Saint-Côme must be located less than 100 kilometers north of Montreal, Quebec. But it takes 2 hours by car to reach this ski resort, especially in winter when the roads are snowy.

Val Saint-Côme doit se trouver à moins de 100 kilomètres au nord de Montréal au Québec. Mais il faut compter 2 heures de voiture pour atteindre cette station de ski, surtout en hivrer quand les routes sont enneigées.

Just before Christmas, with friends, we rented a chalet 🔼 very close to the Val Saint-Côme station to spend some good times together. The chalet was located next to Deer Lake, which was completely frozen at this time of year. The property had direct access with an area furnished with red Adirondack chairs and an outdoor fireplace.

Juste avant Noel, avec des amis, nous avons loué un chalet 🔼 tout près de la station Val Saint-Côme pour passer quelques bons moments ensemble. Le chalet se trouvait à côté du lac du cerf, complètement gelé à cette période de l'année. Le terrain avait un accès direct avec un espace aménagé avec des chaises rouges Adirondack et un foyer extérieur.

Small anecdote, when we arrived the first evening, there was no electricity. In fact, the strong winds the day before had fallen a few branches onto the power lines. Fortunately there was an indoor fireplace to heat the house a little. Because it was at least -15 outside. At 11 p.m., power was restored. Yay... 😀

Petite anecdote, à notre arrivée le premier soir, il n'y avait pas d'électricité. En effet les forts vents de la veille avaient tombé quelques branches sur les lignes électriques. Heureusement qu'il y avait un foyer intérieur pour chauffer un peu la maison. Car il faisait au moins -15 en extérieur. A 23h, le courant a été rétabli. Youpi... 😀

The next morning, the day when all the photos were taken towards Val Saint-Côme for the first day of alpine skiing of the 2025/2026 season. In the morning the weather was still overcast but during the day the sun appeared. During the night, about ten centimeters of snow had fallen. The perfect conditions.

Le lendemain matin, journée où toutes les photos ont été prises direction Val Saint-Côme pour la première journée de ski alpin de la saison 2025/2026. Le matin, le temps était encore couvert mais dans la journée, le soleil est apparu. Dans la nuit, il était tombé une dizaine de centimètres de neige. Les conditions parfaites.

It is a small resort and at the start of the season, only a few slopes are open. But that's enough for a first day. The snow was beautiful and there weren't many people on the slopes. It was a beautiful day... especially since the chalet has a jacuzzi. The warrior's rest 😀.

C'est une petite station et en début de saison, quelques pistes sont ouvertes seulement. Mais cela suffit bien pour une première journée. La neige était belle et il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde sur les pistes. Ce fut une belle journée... surtout qu'au chalet, il y a un jacuzzi. Le repos du guerrier.

I hope you enjoyed this #WednesdayWalk with me, or rather a WednesdaySki 😀. I wish you a very happy Christmas with family or friends. Enjoy this time of celebration.

J'espère que vous avez apprécié ce #WednesdayWalk en ma compagnie, enfin plutôt un WednesdaySki 😀. Je vous souhaite de passer un très bon Noel en famille ou avec des amis. Profitez bien de ce temps de réjouissance.

Just by seeing your photos, I've got my nose and hands cold suddenly! Everyone tells me, that when you are snowing, you are never cold... Ahahh I have to check it up for myself one day.
Enjoy your Xmas Eve, heroldius!

I'd say that when you're well-dressed and active, you're never cold. So, skiing down a few slopes is great, especially if a jacuzzi awaits you afterwards 😀
Merry Christmas

Yes, that is all my friends that practice winter sports tell me. Who knows, maybe one day I try it out for myself!
I know that in Quebeque is way much colder then Lisbon, but I woke up today and the thermometer marked 4ºC... It is a big diference from yesterday. Yesterday I went for a walk and it were 14-15ºC!
