Family winter tour ideas
Why not sleep with the wolves?
Parc Oméga enriches its winter experience with three new panoramic chalets that let you sleep in the heart of Arctic wolf territory. These unique accommodations, with spectacular views, offer an immersive experience close to nature. The park also offers winter camping in immersion with the deer, combining comfort and adventure in cosy Wi-tents. Last but not least, the Oniro nocturnal trail returns for its first winter season: a magical journey through the snow-covered forest, filled with light and sound.
This winter, enjoy an out-of-the-ordinary stay at Parc Oméga, where wild nature and unusual accommodation meet.
Winter on a grand scale at Centre touristique du Lac-Simon
Continue your adventure in Duhamel, at the Centre touristique du Lac-Simon. Here, the scenery is transformed into an immense winter playground. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking or ice fishing on Lac de la Ferme- there's no shortage of activities.
Children will marvel at the sight of white-tailed deer from the chalet, before tubing down the slope or skating on the ice trail in the forest, an illuminated course that has become a must-see in Petite Nation.
For even more ideas, take a look at our map of slides and skating rinks.
Slide, laugh and enjoy
In Chénéville, bring your sleds, tubes or crazy carpet and head for the Allons au bois trail. Laughter guaranteed for young and old!
For a sweet break, stop off at Miss Macaron, where sweets and hot chocolates will warm the whole family.
And why not prolong the pleasure by discovering other gourmet addresses in the region?
A touch of farmhouse to finish
On your way home, stop off at Ferme Cabriole in Plaisance. This visit will delight young and old alike. Here, you can learn about farming life and pet sheep and other farm animals in a friendly, authentic atmosphere.
In addition to tours, Ferme Cabriole also offers inspiring artistic workshops: pottery, stained glass, glass fusion and wool work. A great way to end your getaway on a creative and gentle note.
A magical family getaway
Between magical moments, laughter and discoveries, winter in Petite Nation promises unforgettable memories. Here, we learn, we play, we share and, above all, we make the most of the cold season.
We'll take you for a walk... with your family.
