A family adventure on the trails of Les 3 Mont de Coleraine

Recently, we were lucky enough to stay at the magnificent Chalet le Convivial, located in the Sentiers Pédestres des 3 Monts. Honestly, I was a little apprehensive about our getaway given the rain forecast, but we were really lucky.

I was with 3 of my boys. We arrived late in the afternoon and the rain had stopped. Hurrah! As it was already getting dark, we decided to stay in the chalet and enjoy it.

Chalet le Convivial is really big, on two floors with lots of windows to maximise the light. And what can we say about the view? It was magnificent, especially with the fall colours. The chalet is big enough for a large family (yes, like ours). There was plenty of room. The ground floor was the communal area for cooking, eating and relaxing by the fireplace, and the second floor had two large beds and a sofa bed. Honestly, I fell in love with it because I’d never seen a chalet big enough for a large family.

So, in the evening, we had our meal and as it was my Raphaël’s birthday, we had brought a cake for the occasion. Afterwards, the children played games while I read a book.

During the night, it rained heavily. I was really hoping it would stop or at least calm down so we could go hiking the next day. My wish came true! In the morning, the weather was grey, but there was no rain. We still wore our raincoats just in case.

We decided to do Mont Caribou. The climb went well, despite a few slippery spots. William is very good, despite the slightly rougher sections. I loved seeing the larch needles covering the ground. It was magnificent. These are my favorite photos of the hike.
