10 Reasons to Visit Laval in White

On January 23, 24, and 25, 2026, the Nature Centre will come alive for the 18th edition of Laval en blanc, a winter celebration that promises to be anything but cold! Here are ten great reasons not to miss this must-see event.

Reason #1 – A setting that leaves you speechless

The snow-covered landscape of Laval is a sight to behold in itself. With 50 hectares of snow-covered nature, the scenery looks like something out of a postcard—or the very image of a Quebec winter when Mother Nature is on our side.

Reason #2 – Free equipment

No matter what outdoor activities you enjoy (tubing, ice skating on the lake, beginner skiing, etc.), Laval en blanc has something for you and even offers free equipment rentals. So there’s no reason not to get out and about!

Reason #3 – Fun for ages 0 to 99

There’s no age limit for tackling a via ferrata or a winter zip line! Even your memories of these activities will last a hundred years. Well, maybe not, but they’ll certainly be unforgettable.

Reason #4 – Get your fill of entertainment for free

Every day, small performances pop up all over the park. Whether it’s musical performances, stage shows, or interactive sessions with artists, there’s plenty to see and hear.

Reason #5 – Fireworks that go *POP!*

The event culminates with fireworks that light up the sky over Laval and add a touch of magic to the winter. And everyone is happy when it goes *POP*!

Reason #6 – Hey, the atmosphere

Just the presence of the people attending the event is enough to turn up the heat at Laval en blanc. And when you add in the emcees, who are there to bring an extra dose of joy and energy to the event, smiles become contagious.

Reason #7 – Easy to get to

Whether you take public transportation or drive, the Nature Center is easily accessible. Plus, for those who choose to drive, it’s good to know that paid parking is available to everyone.

Reason No. 8 – A taste of the tropics for a change of scenery

After a while, since it’s still the middle of winter, you might start to feel the urge to warm up. So why not kill two birds with one stone: thaw out your toes in the greenhouse while enjoying a tropical bath. Or, if little animals warm your heart, stop by the farm.

Reason #9 – Laval en blanc is FREE

Laval en blanc is completely free, making it an event that everyone can enjoy. All you need to bring is some warm clothes and a little enthusiasm to have a fun and unforgettable day.

Reason No. 10 – Enjoy Laval

Why stop there? Before or after your visit to Laval en blanc, explore Laval’s other must-see attractions. Take the opportunity to visit the Cosmodome, the Armand-Frappier Museum or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the destination’s many restaurants.
