The Devlin cabins on the shore of Lac à L'Épaule in Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier have been freshly renovated, and a cross country skiing trail and snowshoeing trail now link the area to Camp Mercier's trail network. Some great spots are still available this winter...so hurry!
Camp Mercier is renowned as an excellent cross country skiing and snowshoeing centre. Set in Réserve faunique des Laurentides, it is certainly one of the snowiest cross country skiing centres in the country! It offers classic and skate skiers and snowshoers a wide variety of trails along with a very long season, gorgeous scenery and unparalleled views!
At Camp Mercier, less than an hour from the city of Québec, the cross country skiing and snowshoeing season even lasts into April! We're waiting for you!
The almost unaltered natural setting of Camp Mercier offers 54 linear km of trails, 42 for the classic style and 12 for skate skiing. In all, there are a total of over 120 km of patrolled and groomed trails, varying from easy to difficult.
New! A gently sloping 2-km cross country skiing trail now links the Devlin sector to the Camp Mercier network. The trail passes under the Route 175 viaduct.
For snowshoeing, 22 linear km form a network of over 40 km. There are 3 warming huts along the way and the views are dazzling. One of the trails culminates at 1,000 m in altitude...a challenge worth the detour, and a real treat for seasoned snowshoers!
New! A snowshoeing trail now links the Devlin cabin sector to the Camp Mercier network. The trail passes under the Route 175 viaduct.
Some 20 very well-equipped cabins sleep 2 to 14 people. Thirteen of them are near the cross country skiing and snowshoeing trails. A cabin stay is a great way to make the fun last for a few days, and to be close to the action! Cabin residents can also enjoy snow tubing and skating near the Lac-à-Noël cabins.
In the past few years, the accommodations have been completely refurbished: cabins were built in the Lac-à-Noël sector and cabins 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 in the Devlin sector were fully renovated.
