Fifty-four kilometres of snowshoeing trails will take you through this snow-draped forest and show you the tracks of its wildlife. Lovers of nature and fresh air will be charmed by the unforgettable decor of this patch of Québec's far north. You can stop over at the Lac Pointu huts, which are accessible everyday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, for resting or having an indoor meal by the roaring fire of a wood stove, in the quiet of the forest.
A must this winter, the Mont-du-Lac-des-Cygnes trail and the new La Chouenne trail. Snowshoers will be amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the succession of viewspoints featuring snowy valleys, rocky cliffs and barren mountain peaks. A dazzling spectalce from the very first kilometre.
