The Art of Smart Timing
For families planning to visit Quebec high season is from mid-June to early October. In high season you can expect warmer weather as well as an increase in hotel rates and rental prices. If you are looking to come in winter to experience the slopes and snow-clad landscape, you will see a significant drop in prices with low/mid season from early January through mid-June.

Getting There
Situated just outside of Magog in Quebec's Eastern Townships, Espace 4 Saisons is approximately 40 minutes north of Vermont and about an hour and a half east of Montreal.

If you're planning to fly, the Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport is the closest to the hotel. Since this flight will be an international flight be sure to have all of your necessary documents and passports handy when traveling with your family.

If traveling by car best suits you, Quebec is bordered by several U.S. states and is approximately 40 minutes from the Vermont border, four and a half hours from Boston and seven hours from New York. Quebec is also a few hours from major cities such as Ottawa or Toronto.

If you're traveling from the U.S., you'll have to cross over the Canada/U.S. land border, so be sure to bring your passports. Standard waiting time ranges from 10 to 20 minutes.

Getting Around
Families can take a shuttle to the downtown Montreal area, but we would advise getting a rental car to make your trip east. A number of car rental companies have offices at the airport making it easy for you to get a rental.

For Mom and Dad
