Summer essentials for exploring the Laurentians

Tour the region on gravel bike

In the mood for an adventure? Head to Gravelle Laurentides for a new cycling experience: nearly 300 km of gravel trails and bike paths that will take you on a tour of the region and its iconic spots. 

There is a selection of accommodations along the way for you to choose from, including the lovely Au Clos Rolland inn in Sainte-Adèle. Featuring a new summer offer, the inn boasts a unique lakeside setting where you can relax for a time before heading back on the trail. 

Bicycling in the Laurentians is also an opportunity to ride the popular trails and rediscover the classics, such as Le P’tit Train du Nord with its beautiful scenery. Don’t forget that the latter has a shuttle that can take your luggage to your next accommodation.

Discover all that Saint-Eustache has to offer

For a cultural break with a touch of the great outdoors, be sure to stop in Saint-Eustache! Perfect timing: BIXI bikes have just arrived in town. Rent one to explore on two wheels. 

Revisit a piece of Quebec’s history in the heart of Vieux-Saint-Eustache. Learn more about the city’s rich heritage by strolling through historic sites such as Moulin Légaré and Manoir Globensky. 

And nature is never far! Saint-Eustache has a variety of attractions and green spaces in which to enjoy the beautiful summer weather, including Nature Park and its new pavilion, a lovely spot to take a break after a trail walk.

Bask in the outdoors around the region’s parks

With its regional and provincial parks, the Laurentians are an ideal destination for outdoor activities that will help you fully decompress. Parc Éco-Laurentides, for example, has 30 km of marked trails through the woods, where you can immerse yourself in the vastness of Laurentian nature.

And why not venture off the beaten track with unique accommodations in the midst of nature? Try canoe-camping at Huttopia, paddling during the day and falling asleep to the sounds of nature at night. Or, to feel like a kid again, book a cozy, ready-to-camp treehouse at Les refuges perchés. 

At Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, discover wonderful nature protection initiatives, including educational activities and exciting programming at the Discovery Centre.
