It offers easy and intermediate hiking trails through its three mountains, Oak Mountain, Kerr Mountain and Caribou Mountain.<\/p>\n

An educational trail has been set up where you can, among other things, discover what an ophiolite is. A hebertism course designed for ages 6 and up is accessible on the site. It includes a quiz and a “search and find” activity.<\/p>\n

Accommodation varies from wilderness camping to yurts to Chalet Desjardins. At the time of writing this article, there is still plenty of availability for the summer, even on weekends. It’s a great opportunity to spend the night in an unusual accommodation, and you could use your credit card points to pay for it.<\/p>\n

Visit their website<\/a> for more details and to book your stay.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”146555″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”146551″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”146545″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”146553″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][vc_single_image image=”146561″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading el_id=”velorail” text=”Velorail” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]I love trying a new activity that is off the beaten path. The Beaulac-Garthby Velorail<\/a> will turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary adventure. Ride the bike carts for a 10 or 18 km ride on the railway.<\/p>\n

Two people aged 10 and over are required to operate the machine and a bench seat is designed for children under 10 years old. A great way to get moving while discovering beautiful landscapes.<\/p>\n

Departures take place at fixed times several times a day.
\nOpen from May to October.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”146615″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading el_id=”compostelle_des_appalaches” text=”Compostelle des Appalaches” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=””][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]Since the current situation makes it more difficult to plan projects abroad, why not take on the challenge of long-distance hikes in Quebec? The website “marcher autrement”<\/a> lists the long-distance hiking trails of the province.<\/p>\n

Among them, there is the Appalachian Compostela<\/a>, also called the St-Jacques-Appalachian Trail, which winds its way through the hills, lakes, rivers, forests, mining landscapes, and heritage sites of the region.<\/p>\n
