Labrador West
Your base for exploring Labrador West.
Wabush and Labrador City are twin towns on the Quebec–Labrador border, surrounded by boreal forest, big lakes and long trails. Winter is deep and bright; summer is green and quiet. Both are worth the trip.
Things to do, season by season
Snowmobiling
Labrador West is groomed-trail country, with connections deep into the interior. Winter conditions and trail status change quickly — check locally before heading out.
Skiing
Cross-country and downhill options operate in the area through the winter season. Hours vary with weather.
Hiking
Trails around the towns lead to lookouts, waterways and open barrens. Long daylight in summer makes for unhurried walking.
Fishing
The lakes and rivers of the region are a long-standing draw. Provincial licences and seasons apply.
Golf
Tamarack Golf Club serves Labrador West through the short, bright summer season.
Northern landscapes
Big skies, iron-country ridges and, on clear winter nights, the northern lights.
Wabush and Labrador City
Wabush is the quieter of the two towns and home to the regional airport; Labrador City, a few minutes away, has the larger shopping and services base. The hotel sits between the two, which is exactly why it works as a base.
