Fermont
Up in Fermont, cold and snow are a way of life. Fermont has a unique urban architecture and its economy is based solely on the exploitation of the iron mines. The inhabitants designed this town according to the environment, and built around it a 1.3 kilometre windbreak wall, a daring Nordic architectural innovation that shelters the city from the ever-stinging Northern winds. Fermont offers many activities like hiking on mount Daviault, the visit of an opencast mine, wild berry tasting, snowmobiling on the long Caribou path, wildlife observation as well as caribou hunting. In Fermont, you will also see interesting attractions like the coastal cabins, the taiga, geology, exceptional fauna and flora as well as the beautiful Northern lights. To reach Fermont, you need to take road 369 from Baie-Comeau, or take the train or the plane. A few kilometres farther, you can cross to the Newfoundland and Labrador province.
