Val-d'Or

Val-d'Or

Val-d’Or is one of the cities in Abitibi-Témiscamingue that owes its beginnings to the gold rush. The Cité de l’Or / Village minier de Bourlamaque celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2005. There you can become a prospector for one day. You can go down 91 meters under the ground in the galleries of the Lamaque mine, the deepest gold mine in Canada that is accessible to tourists. You will also be able to visit the analysis laboratory, the winch hall and the Bourlamaque village. The parc Belvédère will surely please outdoor enthusiasts since it has an 18-meter-high tower from which you can observe the surroundings. It also has hiking and mountain biking trails.

At the tourism hall, you will be able to admire the gigantic work of a Cri artist: a 2-ton sculpture made of soap stone. The Centre d’exposition de Val-d’Or also presents works of art that will surely please more than one visitor. You can also visit the Norbord Industry, one of the most important factories in the region. Finally, nature lovers will be pleased in Val-d’Or since it is in this municipality that we can find the réserve faunique La Vérendrye, the second largest reserve owned by the SEPAQ (Société des Établissements Plein Air du Québec). Its vast territory and numerous lakes make it a paradise for fishermen and canoe-camping amateurs. This wildlife reserve also has many campgrounds and cottages that will please everyone.
