Flagship experience Escape to nature

Less well known than its northern cousin, but just as epic: four peaks, two valleys, crystal-clear rivers, ancient forests… and a massif that climbs to 917 metres... Here, you can really get off the hook!

A jewel to discover or rediscover! At Parc des Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, the 35-metre waterfalls steal the show. It’s the perfect spot for picnicking, hiking or simply soaking up nature… not forgetting the training circuit for the more motivated. The view from the suspended footbridge is sublime!

Here, nature opens the door wide – and dogs are invited too! With 140 km of trails, lakes, mountains, footbridges and breathtaking vistas, the Appalachian Park is the perfect playground to unwind… at your own pace.

A jewel to discover on the outskirts of majestic Grand Lac Saint-François. Frontenac National Park is the place to be for water sports, hiking and biking. Whether camping, ready-to-camp, in a cottage, rustic camp or canoe-camping, you’ll discover a bountiful natural environment.

Looking for panoramic views? 20 km of marked trails for hiking and running. Magnificent panoramas can be seen from the top of Oak (460 m), Kerr (494 m) and Caribou (558 m) mountains. Enjoy the area for longer with yurt and chalet accommodation.

In this little outdoor paradise, the more relaxed can take to the water in a kayak or fish from the comfort of a canoe. Sports enthusiasts can let their dogs guide them on a cani-rando, enjoy a sublime horseback ride or a guided quad outing that promises to be as fun as it is dirty! A number of cottages are on site to make the most of your stay.

Between hiking, beach, swimming, giant trampoline and hebertism, there’s plenty of fun to be had. And for thrill-seekers, don’t miss the star attraction: rail tobogganing. Yes, sledging in summer! If your radar is looking for adventure, this is the perfect spot. To make the most of it, several types of accommodation are available on site: Chalets, Coolboxes, a pod and a yurt.

For mountain bikers, there are 14 tracks and over 11 km of trails for all levels. For hiking enthusiasts, there are 4 trails totalling 9 km, with magnificent views all along the way. After all that effort, grab a bite to eat at the Mexican-inspired Resto-pub!

Au Québ takes us to the Etchemins region to get moving and drink well, while discovering new and exciting things to do. Combine mountain biking and microbrew beers… it’s bliss, isn’t it? Mont Orignal: A playground made for mountain biking!
