Alouette Smelter

Alouette Smelter is an unusual industrial visit outside Sept-Iles, focused on one of North America's largest primary aluminium plants. The scale is the draw: long production halls, heavy equipment, and a clear look at the industrial side of the North Shore economy.

Tours are tightly controlled and come with clothing and safety rules, so check current access before making the trip. It is best for travellers who enjoy factories, engineering, or seeing how a working port city earns its living.
