A unforgettable stay at an outfitter!

Do you want to escape and get a change of scenery but, like me, don't have a lakeside cabin, a boat, or a motor?

The outfitters of Abitibi-Témiscamingue offer all kinds of packages this summer: personalized and generous hospitality, accommodations in inns, cabins (sometimes with a spa), or camping, dreamlike beaches, islands with various attractions, fishing equipment rentals, walleye, pike, and trout fishing (among others), guiding services, diverse outdoor activity offers, all in a safe setting.

They have been making Ontarians, Americans, and Europeans dream for years, yet we barely know them. It's time to discover these hidden gems of our territory. We present to you a part of our outfitters spread across our region.

Obviously, you shouldn't show up at an outfitter without having reserved and communicated with the establishment beforehand.
