Fall stays

Nature welcomes true die-hards! Because even though the nights are cooler, there’s nothing better than a stay under the starry sky to enjoy the best of fall. Sépaq destinations are chock-full of places for adventure and escape, perfect destinations for a fall getaway at a campsite or a hut.

Parc national du Mont-Tremblant

An escapade in the Laurentides region definitely remains a must during fall. Until mid-October, La Diable, La Pimbina-Saint-Donat, and L’Assomption sectors of Parc national du Mont-Tremblant offer a wide choice of wooded, intimate, and rustic campsites. For backpacking enthusiasts, the park offers very accessible huts less than an hour and a half from Montreal. Perfect for a weekend getaway in September and October!

As for activities, the via ferrata is also a very original way to take in the magnificent fall colours. Quiet moments and new lookouts offering views of the surrounding mountains and lakes await you.

Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay

In the middle of summer, the renowned fjord is a sight to behold. When fall colours join the party, the scenery becomes simply spectacular. Until mid-October, a number of rustic campsites are available along the fjord and on Des Caps trail for backpacking enthusiasts looking for an extended stay. Meanwhile in Baie-Éternité and Baie-Sainte-Marguerite sectors, you can sleep in the comfort of a hut.

Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier

You certainly don’t want to miss this highly colourful show only 30 minutes from Quebec City. During fall, the landscapes of the valley of Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier are ablaze. To make the most of the occasion, why not catch some Zs on site and storm the hiking trails as of daybreak? By the way, the rustic camping sectors of Grand-Duc, Héron, and Morillon are open until mid-October.

Parc national des Hautes‑Gorges‑de‑la‑Rivière‑Malbaie

Take up the fall challenge of the famous L’Acropole-des-Draveurs trail at Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie! For the ultimate experience during the season of colours, we suggest that you spend the night before your hike under the stars in one of the semi-serviced campsites of Camping Le Pin-Blanc. This camping sector is literally at the foot of Acropole-des-Draveurs trail, so you’ll be first to hit the trail to storm the peak.

Parc national des Grands-Jardins

During fall, the alpine vegetation of Parc national des Grands-Jardins has its very own personality. The colours change too, but they offer a show that’s quite different from elsewhere in the province. So take the time to visit the magnificent Charlevoix region and enjoy the show on its many hiking trails. If you’d like to spend the night on site, please note that a few huts are available along the trails. Until mid-October, you can also take advantage of the park’s array of campsites
