Historic Village of Val-Jalbert

Val-Jalbert in Winter!
Under its immaculate blanket of snow, the historic Village of Val-Jalbert reveals itself in magical splendor. Let yourself be amazed by the serene beauty of this heritage and natural site during a walk where time seems to have stopped. The Ouiatchouan Falls, crystallized by the cold, display a breathtaking beauty, transformed into a spectacular wall of ice. In addition, the Club Plein-Air Ouiatchouan invites you to explore various snowshoe trails and cross-country ski tracks, accessible both from the historic Village side and the mountain.

Enjoy a complete winter stay in Val-Jalbert by taking advantage of our modern mini-homes. Fully equipped, they offer you an unobstructed view of the majestic Lake Saint-Jean thanks to a window-wall in each unit. Depending on your needs, the mini-homes have one or two bedrooms, and all include a sofa bed to maximize your comfort.

Val-Jalbert in Summer!
If the history of Val-Jalbert ended in 1927 with the closure of the pulp mill, it has become an essential tourist destination in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean thanks to the multitude of activities and services that are out of the ordinary: cable car, unique immersive show presented through the factory’s machinery, interactive trolleybus tour, interpreter-guides and actors, theatrical animation in high season, thematic hiking trails, and much more. Between 1901 and 1927, Val-Jalbert joyfully pulsed to the rhythm of its paper mill.

Treat yourself to an unforgettable overnight stay in the heart of history! Whether you seek the authenticity of the past or modern comfort, Val-Jalbert offers a range of accommodations designed for all tastes. Immerse yourself in the 1920s by staying in one of our fully restored period homes: hotel rooms with historic décor that blend heritage charm with contemporary amenities, located right in the heart of the Village.
