Quand on m’a suggéré de passer un week-end en amoureux pour découvrir la région de Chaudière-Appalaches et cela avec mon chien Benji, j’ai tout de suite dit un gros OUI ! Premièrement, parce que c’était mon premier week-end en amoureux depuis que nous avions agrandi la famille en accueillant notre petit garçon en juillet 2021, mais aussi parce qu’un peu de repos ne fait jamais de tort à de nouveaux parents. En plus, notre vrai premier fils, Benji, notre caniche royal débordant d’énergie, ne dit jamais non à un week-end plein air dans Chaudière-Appalaches.

We also bought a mattress, sleeping bag, cooking gear, and dehydrated food. One challenge now, get it all to fit in a backpack. One thing is for sure we are now ready for a long-distance hike!

Adeptes de randonnée en toutes saisons, l’hiver on chausse nos raquettes pour profiter pleinement de la multitude de sentiers qu’offre le Parc des Appalaches. C’est en effet pour nous LA place de rêve pour pratiquer au milieu d'un espace naturel à l’état brut. C’est un parc naturel habité certes, mais chacun de ses secteurs sont de véritables espaces sauvages très diversifiés. Et en plus, ils sont tous ouverts aux pitous !

Both of us really like skiing, well especially Gérard, it must be admitted, but we have never been very fans of alpine ski resorts… We prefer the freedom of off-piste mountain skiing, away from crowds. So, when we learned that the Grande Coulée sector in the Appalachian Park was dedicated to this activity, we immediately decided to go exploring.

We don't know you, but since childhood we have often dreamed of putting ourselves in the shoes of a musher ... And then three dogs including two huskies have entered our lives. We moved to Quebec. And this winter, we spend the white season in a cabin in the middle of the famous Parc des Appalaches. In short, all the conditions are present to practice snowscooting almost daily ... What a dream!
