Rejuvenating forests
The mountains, forests, and lakes create the perfect setting to recharge your batteries. Whether you go hiking in the Réserve écologique de la Forêt-la-Blanche, one of Quebec's last old-growth forests, or explore La Route des Zingues, recognized by Rando-Québec as one of the most beautiful sections of the National Trail. At Kenauk Nature, one of the largest private ecological reserves in the world, treat yourself to a day of cross-country skiing followed by a stay in a luxury chalet without Wi-Fi, for a total disconnect. And at Parc des Montagnes in Ripon, winter becomes an invitation to move differently with NATUR yoga.
