Below are listed 8 Airbnbs in Quebec's Saguenay region that perhaps best capture the look and feel of Norway. If you're lucky, you may also get a glimpse of the Northern Lights from these homes. Get all the details below. Visit MTLBlog for more headlines. The Saguenay River is a wide waterway that connects Lac St-Jean to the Saint Lawrence River. Winding between rocky crags and rolling hills, the inlet of water forms perhaps eastern North America's most accessible fjord, "a narrow inlet of the sea between cliffs or steep slopes," according to Merriam Webster. Indeed, to the North American eye, this region of Quebec resembles the rugged coastline of Norway, a country famous for its fjords. Saguenay is just about 5 hours from Montreal and a major destination for nature-lovers and skiers. The region is full of cozy Airbnb chalets as a result. Below, we have selected 8 rental properties that best capture the Scandinavian feel of Saguenay. Each of these may also offer the occasional glimpse of the Northern Lights. Though, it's important to note that views of the Aurora are no guarantee. You'll need to do some careful planning and wish for a little bit of luck if you want to see the lights. But these are the places to do it. To track when and where the lights are most visible, check the American Space Weather Prediction Centre forecasts here.
