Outdoors


Tourisme Côte-Nord promotes sites that allow you to do outdoor activities. Users are responsible for their own safety and for anyone else they are responsible for. Outdoor activities come with risks and it's the user's responsibility to make sure they respect what their physical limit is, as well as any regulations on site.

Description

Fermont is a one-industry town that is wholly dependent on iron mining. The town's main feature is its extraordinary 1.3 km windbreak wall. Be sure to catch the magnificent northern lights - more visible at high latitudes. In March, enjoy the fun activities of the Taiga Carnival. In summer, brave the chilly waters and swim across Lac Daviault or hike Mont Daviault and in the Severson Mountains. You can also tour the Mont-Wright Mine, the largest open-pit mine in North America.  Stand beside the 200 to 400-ton Caterpillar dump trucks and see how you measure up.
