Weekend of fishing and hiking in Québec: experience the adventure in the great outdoors
Nothing beats a weekend of fishing and hiking to recharge and fully enjoy nature. Whether you are passionate about fishing, hiking, or other outdoor activities, the Réseau Zec offers a range of options for a perfect winter adventure.
Why choose the Réseau Zec for your fishing and hiking weekend this winter?
The Zec Network is the place to feel free and enjoy the landscapes of Québec. There are more than 63 zec territories in Québec. Some are just a few hours from major cities (Montréal, Québec, or Trois-Rivières). Others are located in very remote regions surrounded by Québec’s mountains. Each zec offers a multitude of activities to do with family, as a couple, or alone. If you dream of a fishing and hiking weekend, these territories are the ideal place to disconnect and live unique moments.
What makes these places so special is their ability to combine adventure with relaxation. You can start your morning fishing on a frozen lake, spend the afternoon hiking along snowy trails, and finish the day by sharing a warm meal around the fire. This balance between physical activity and peaceful moments is what makes a Zec stay unforgettable.
Visiting a zec territory
In addition to being able to enjoy these affordable activities, one of the greatest advantages of visiting a zec territory is the safety it provides, since many zecs offer Airmedic protection. This service allows you to explore remote territories with peace of mind, knowing that Airmedic is available to assist you in case of emergency, thanks to its day and night helicopter transport service. As the only prehospital emergency helicopter transport service, Airmedic is proud to see that many zecs take the safety of their visitors seriously and ensure this protection is included in the ticket purchase.
