Get Buried in Snow at Fete Des Neiges

Between January 26th and February 10th people staying in cheap hotels in Montreal can join in with celebrations to mark all the wonder and whimsy of winter.

The Fete des Neiges, or Winter Festival, is one of the best ways to experience the spirit of fun and community that gives Montreal its character.

Taking place over three consecutive weekends, this event sees an enormous snow castle dominate the centre of the fairytale world of Boule de Neige.

Visitors are invited to explore the castle and its convoluted frozen corridors, which are populated by a variety of weird and wonderful characters.

The festival will also involve ice-sculpting speed competitions, dogsledding races and ice-tower climbs.

Montreal is a surprising and unique city, which is entirely buried in snow during winter, meaning that there is a network of shopping malls and metro stations linked to hotels and offices which mean that people can get by without ever going out into the cold.

For those who enjoy a frolic in freezing temperatures, however, there is no better opportunity than the Fete des Neiges.
