Sept-Îles’ vibrant city centre is nestled in a beautiful natural landscape. North of the city lies a thick forest with pristine lakes hidden beneath trees and meandering rivers filled with fish. Chances of witnessing the spectacular aurora borealis at night are also good. Beautiful beaches stretch for miles along the southern edge of the city, the Gulf of the St. Lawrence and the bay of Sept-Îles. The outline of whales against the horizon, flocks of sea birds criss-crossing the sky and diving to catch their prey and the verdant shores of the archipelago, all add to breathtaking scenery of Sept-Îles.

 

ARCHIPELAGO OF SEPT-ÎLES

The archipelago of Sept-Îles is perfect for all those who enjoy hiking, bird watching and diving. When travelling to Grosse Boule Island, you can stay at the holiday resort and visit the scallop and mussel farm. The Grande Basque Island offers the most beautiful views of the city, while Corossol Island harbours one of the largest seabird sanctuaries in Eastern Canada, allowing visitors a closer look at its winged residents.

 

MOISIE RIVER

As the first aquatic reserve of Québec, the Moisie River is world-famous for its untamed beauty, Atlantic salmon and stunning gorges. It’s truly a natural paradise!

 

Lac des rapides

Besides providing the city with drinkable water, the Lac des Rapides is a great family destination. With its sandy beaches and its impressive size, the lake is a perfect place for swimming and water sports. Furthermore, the beautiful boreal forests surrounding it are a great hiking destination.
