Activities for the whole family include snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, ice skating, cross-country skiing and skishoeing, not to mention fat biking. Some equipment can be rented on site. Pure fun, then, on the few trails that run alongside the river and link the Le Draveur visitors centre to the L’Équerre sector, on an 8 km playground that’s anything but ordinary. You can walk it too, provided you’re wearing boots with good crampons.

On the river, skaters will love gliding along the ice oval or trail. Near the Le Draveur visitors centre, they’ll then have the chance to warm up by the fire and sip on a hot drink.

Riding a fat bike along the linear trail leading up to a 90-degree turn is a mind-blowing experience, giving you the feeling of being alone in the world and the desire to get lost in this breathtaking scenery. Along the way, you might catch a glimpse of climbers on the iced walls of the Pomme d’Or—for the initiated only.
