Our Hygge advice

Choose the trail that best suits your level!

Grands-Jardins National Park is another must-visit for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts. The scenery is absolutely stunning!

When it comes to hiking, there are several trails for all skill levels. La Chouenne and Le Gros-Pin are fairly easy. If you are looking for a bigger challenge, we recommend Mont du Lac-des-Cygnes or the Pioui Trail.

The park is also ideal for wildlife watching, rock climbing on the faces of Mont de l’Ours and Mont du Gros-Bras, or water activities such as fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, rabaska, or the Via Ferrata for the more adventurous.

With its imposing mountains, fish-filled lakes, and breathtaking trails, this national park is a true natural sanctuary. You could easily spend several days exploring it.
