This summer, we decided to explore the Chaudière-Appalaches region, just on the other side of the river, a few kilometers from Quebec. It was a real surprise to see the wealth of activities and landscapes that this region has to offer. To give you an overview of our family adventure, here is a summary of our two favorites: the Parc du Massif du Sud and Berthier-sur-Mer.

The Parc du Massif du Sud, located in the heart of the Appalachian mountains, added mountain biking to its already well-rounded range of activities in the last few years. On the menu: sometimes technical, sometimes straight ahead, but above all, accessible trails. A trip worth the detour!

Parc de la Gaspésie, Sentier des caps, Traversée de Charlevoix: there is more than one option for long-distance hikes in the Belle Province! The only problem when you want to live this experience with your 12-year-old son without discouraging him is the accessible options. After a lot of research, we finally found the perfect hike for us: the Parcours des Contrées de l'Est, located in the Parc du Massif du Sud.

What better way to sleep like a baby than a camping space in the heart of the mountains, where you will find nothing more than absolute silence? Tonight, we are staying in one of the prospector tents of the Parc du Massif du Sud, which is roughly a 3h30 drive from Montreal.

It all started with this morning meeting where adventure was calling us, my partner and I. We found ourselves in St-Michel-de-Bellechasse, ideal as a rallying point. The Parc du Massif du Sud was waiting for us, less than 45 minutes from Highway 20, with its promises of wild nature and a total change of scenery.

Nestled in the heart of the enchanting landscapes of the Chaudière-Appalaches region, Parc du Massif du Sud is undoubtedly a jewel for backcountry skiing enthusiasts. With the vast quantities of snow for which the park is renowned, it's no surprise that it has become one of Quebec's must-see spots for this sport! In winter, the mythical park is transformed into a white paradise where immaculate trails and undergrowth provide thrills on every descent.

Je pense sincèrement que ce qui me rend le plus heureuse l’hiver, c’est de faire du ski de fond. Vous pouvez en parler avec mon copain. Il commence à avoir sérieusement hâte que la neige fonde. Pour vrai, chaque semaine, je ressens le besoin de mettre mes skis, peu importe la météo, les conditions de glisse, le lieu et la durée. C’est essentiel à mon bien-être physique, mais encore plus mental. Je n’ai pas besoin d’aller vite, j’ai seulement besoin de prendre l’air.

Indeed, because I am filled with happiness. During my last winter visit to the Parc du Massif du Sud, we did the classic climb to the top of Mont Chocolat. This time, we are going to explore another sector of this winter sports paradise, snowshoes at our feet!

The adventure started right when we arrived at Parc du Massif du Sud: the PODs were not accessible by car in winter. With a sled, we made a little trail to our lodging with our luggages. We quickly felt nature calling: tall pines covered with snow, fresh air, silence.

While abundant snow is still awaited in the city (at least in Lévis), this is not the case in the Parc Massif du Sud where the snowflakes have already generously covered the slopes and trails.
