With its varied and imposing terrain running along the river, the forest at Le Massif de Petite-Rivière-Saint-François has 46 km² of impressive features. With mountain biking, downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, canyoning and hiking, this public land is an immense playground that offers year-round fun to fans of the outdoors—and of local flavours.

The rich diversity of flora lends itself to exceptional food experiences, particularly at the many sugar shacks throughout the forest. In addition to maple trees, there’s an incredible mix of edible wild plants. Foodies can discover the unique terroir thanks to Forêt Gourmande and its culinary workshops in the heart of nature, which include picking and tasting what grows in the woods, cooking spices and mushrooms that you harvest, and making syrups with aromatics from the forest.

All activities taking place in the forest at Le Massif are anchored in the principles of ecotourism and designed to mitigate the human impact on the land and preserve the balance between its delicate ecosystems.
