Ideas for Family Winter Trips
Sleeping with the wolves—why not?
Parc Oméga is enhancing its winter experience with three new panoramic cabins where visitors can spend the night in the heart of the arctic wolves’ territory. These unique accommodations, featuring spectacular views, offer an immersive experience in close contact with nature. The park also offers a winter camping experience surrounded by deer, combining comfort and adventure in cozy Wi-tents. Finally, the Oniro nighttime trail returns for its first winter season: a magical journey through sound and light in the snow-covered forest.
This winter, enjoy an extraordinary stay at Parc Oméga, where untamed nature and unique accommodations come together.
A True Winter Experience at Centre touristique du Lac-Simon
Continue your adventure in Duhamel, at the Centre touristique du Lac-Simon. Here, the landscape transforms into a vast winter playground. Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking, or ice fishing on Lac de la Ferme—there’s no shortage of activities.
Kids will be amazed watching white-tailed deer from the cabin before hurtling down the hill on a snow tube or skating along the frozen trail through the forest—an illuminated path that has become a must-see in Petite Nation.
