Make Way for Winter Sports!

Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are also choice activities in the region. In all, more than 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) of trails wind through landscapes. Whether you love open spaces or the charm of cities and villages, a little slice of heaven awaits you. Three national parks and local ski centres invite you to strap on your gear and head out to discover marked trails.

Get Off the Beaten Track

Winter is perfect for discovering new activities. Take on the snowy trails by treating yourself to horseback riding. Many equestrian centres offer guided outings, including Équitation Jacques Robidas in North Hatley. Beginners can discover this leisure activity in complete safety thanks to an introductory session. Horse carriage rides are very romantic and a great alternative for those who prefer cosying up while being carried over the snow.

Make a Savoury Stop

To complete your getaway, visit the Cafés de village website. You can easily find these establishments, located along the way. Stopping by is all about treating yourself to a tasty time, warming up and sipping on a good coffee or savouring healthy dishes and regional Créateurs de saveurs products.
