Following the example of other great national parks networks, Parcs Québec works to ensure the durability of its territories, which shelter large ecosystems. Created and managed in keeping with World Conservation Union (IUCN) standards, the national parks must also be accessible for educational and outdoor activities. Québec’s parks are therefore set up to promote discovery while at the same time respecting the territory’s sensitive zones and keeping environmental impacts to a minimum. Responsible tourism practices are therefore very relevant here. May the beauty continue!

Along with those in Plaisance and Bic national parks, Sépaq has decided to introduce yurts to two more national parks, Jacques-Cartier and Mont-Tremblant, and to increase the number of yurts in Bic. Parc national du Mont-Tremblant will have four yurts on the shores of lac des Cyprès, which will be offered in a package including use of a canoe for one day starting at $149/night. In all the other parks, prices start at $103/night. You can reserve on line or by phone.
