1. GOURMET DINNER

If fine dining is what you’re looking for, the inn’s restaurant will certainly satisfy you. The table d’hôte includes delectable meat and fish dishes. And here’s a tip for a romantic touch: ask for the table close to and facing the fireplace—it sets the perfect mood. The bistro-bar also features a delicious menu in an inviting setting. Top off your day in the outdoors with a boardgame around the fireplace. Settle into one of the comfortable armchairs and unwind for as long as you wish. It feels just like being at the cottage.

2. NATURE TRAILS AND SNOWSHOEING

Make your way to the activity centre to rent snowshoes or cross-country skis, then head out to explore the 20+ km of trails. The trails on the frozen lake offer a completely different view of the resort and allow you to go around the peninsula if you follow the Mistral trail.

Onsite you can also try your hand at a winter sport that’s gaining popularity: fat biking. Equipped with large tires, the bike lets you face the winter conditions head on and explore the forest faster than on foot. Skating is also available on the two frozen surfaces near the inn. You can even try ice fishing in the centre of one of them! Snowtubing is also available nearby. Just rent the equipment and off you go!

4. DOGSLEDDING FUN

Definitely the best-loved activity available onsite! Let six friendly dogs take you on an exciting ride through the forest! Choko and Géant lead the pack, winding their way through the trees on an expedition of 8 or 25 km. When you see the dogs’ enthusiasm, you’ll know they’re having fun! You can even drive your own dog team and control their speed standing at the back on the skis of the sled. After the ride, the dogs are more than happy to get a few thank you cuddles. They’re very affectionate!
