It's all about anchoring yourself in the here and now.
2- DAY HIKE IN ONE OF LANAUDIÈRE'S PARKS
Once again, departure is at 8 a.m. near the Radisson metro station. Start your day with a photo break at the magnificent Montagne Coupée lookout, then head to either Parc régional des Sept-Chutes, Parc régional de la forêt Ouareau or Parc national du Mont-Tremblant for a self-guided hike through magnificent scenery. Don't forget to pack a snack and water for this immersion in nature. In the late afternoon, return to the starting point for a 4:30 p.m. return, arriving in Montreal around 6:30 p.m. A perfect getaway to reconnect with nature and revitalize.
3- A DAY WITH THE DOGS!
Dive into a unique adventure and feel the excitement of dog sledding, but on wheels! The cani-kart, a non-motorized all-terrain vehicle, offers mushers and their faithful companions an unforgettable experience at any time of year. Now, this exciting adventure is open to anyone looking to explore new horizons. Set off on your adventure at 8:30 a.m. from the Radisson metro station, where your guide-driver will immerse you in the richness of local culture and history along the way. The Cani-kart experience at Les Aventures Liguoriennes begins with a presentation of the Alaskan dogs, their preparation with harnesses and safety instructions. Led by a guide, you'll cross farmland and forests, discovering herds of grazing cows while enjoying the beauty of summer or autumn landscapes. On the way back, the dogs are congratulated and rewarded before sharing a homemade beverage and snack. Lunch is a picnic featuring local produce. In the afternoon, off to Saint-Jacques for a visit and tasting at Distillerie Grand Dérangement, where you'll learn about the distillation process and the history of distillation in Quebec.

If you prefer to experience La P'tite Aventure at Kinadapt, this immersive activity begins with a visit to the farm animals: egg picking, feeding the hens and rabbits, followed by a special moment with the dog pack. The whole experience culminates in a husky trek to Huskyville - a 2.5-hour tour that delights young and old alike. In the afternoon, it's time to relax: your guide-driver will take you to Rawdon's municipal beach, with its fine sand, supervised swimming area and the possibility of renting a boat to sail on the lake (until September 1).
