Le Baluchon Éco-villégiature

A premium ecotourism destination nestled in the heart of the Mauricie region, Le Baluchon Éco-villégiature is the perfect place for a complete getaway immersed in Québec’s natural beauty. Crossed by the Rivière du Loup, the property features an iconic attraction: a 1.5-km wooden boardwalk leading to the stunning Chute des Trembles waterfall. More than 40 km of private trails invite visitors to enjoy the outdoors year-round, whether through hiking, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, fat biking, or snowshoeing. The site also features a year-round equestrian centre and dog sledding excursions during the winter months. Le Baluchon offers inn-style accommodations and chalets of various sizes, accommodating anywhere from 2 to 26 guests, making it the perfect escape for couples, families, or group retreats. For those looking to add a wellness component to their stay, the spa experience includes facials, riverside massages, thermal experiences overlooking the river, forest bathing, and hatha yoga. The experience continues at the table with both a gourmet dining option featuring 3- or 8-course dinners and a bistro-style à la carte menu. The La Balade des 5 sens tasting menu, created by Chef Alex Hanna, showcases the property’s home-raised livestock, garden harvests, foraged ingredients, and local artisans. Certified eco-responsible, Le Baluchon seamlessly blends comfort, nature, and sustainability to offer an authentic and memorable slow-living experience in Mauricie.
