Chocolaterie Kao
I love Kao Chocolaterie for its original, colorful chocolates. I like to drink a good hot chocolate while enjoying the enchanting winter scenery of l'Anse Saint-Jean.

I love the variety of activities offered by this park, whether you go snowshoeing, skating or cross-country skiing, there's something for everyone. I particularly enjoy going for long walks and breathing in the fresh winter air.

Center Plein air Bec-Scie
The Centre plein air Bec-Scie is a veritable natural gem located just a stone's throw from the city. As soon as I enter the trails, time seems to stand still and I'm plunged into a fairytale world. Don't miss the Sailor's Trail, accessible only in winter. Happy hiking!
Le Centre de plein air Le Norvégien
Enjoy a vast network of trails for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, fat-biking, mountain biking and hiking. Whether you're a beginner or an enthusiast, the well-groomed trails and enchanting scenery promise unforgettable moments.
Anne's favorites
Le Valinouët
I love this mountain where the snow is 100% natural. The day after a good snow shower, there's nothing better than enjoying the powder on the mountain early in the morning and finishing the day's downhill skiing with a good nacho at the Yéti resto-pub on the top floor of the main chalet.
Monts-Valin National Park
This park is full of great winter walks. There's always plenty of snow for two of my favorite activities, snowshoeing and Nordic cross-country skiing. In winter, one of the park's must-do activities is the guided hike through the Valley of the Ghosts. I'm always amazed at the amount of snow up there - it's a magical winter!
