In a few words

The Parc du Massif du Sud offers a vast network of trails (71 km). Sometimes in the hollow of the valleys following the river, and sometimes in the mountains, the different routes will lead you to magnificent panoramas.

Between the tumultuous Portes-de-l'Enfer canyon, the magnificent panorama from the summit of the Crête des grives, and our popular Mont Chocolat, let yourself be surprised by the diversity of the landscapes. In the fall, the colors shine in the hollow of the valleys and the maple groves unfold their most beautiful assets! Dogs on leashes are accepted.

Three interpretation trails will allow you to learn more about the habitats that characterize the Park. Guided hikes in mycology and about edible and medicinal plants are offered. Our annual Perseid observation activity is very popular and the high-ropes course is a hit with children and families!

Parc de la Gaspésie, Sentier des caps, Traversée de Charlevoix: there is more than one option for long-distance hikes in the Belle Province!

Active Nature - En vedette Backcountry adventure in Parc du Massif du Sud

Nestled in the heart of the enchanting landscapes of the Chaudière-Appalaches region, Parc du Massif du Sud is undoubtedly a jewel for backcountry skiing enthusiasts. With the vast quantities of snow for which the park is renowned, it's no surprise that it has become one of Quebec's must-see spots for this sport! In winter, the mythical park is transformed into a white paradise where immaculate trails and undergrowth provide thrills on every descent.

Active Nature - En vedette Cross-country skiing and well-being in the Massif du Sud Regional Park!

Je pense sincèrement que ce qui me rend le plus heureuse l’hiver, c’est de faire du ski de fond. Vous pouvez en parler avec mon copain. Il commence à avoir sérieusement hâte que la neige fonde. Pour vrai, chaque semaine, je ressens le besoin de mettre mes skis, peu importe la météo, les conditions de glisse, le lieu et la durée. C’est essentiel à mon bien-être physique, mais encore plus mental. Je n’ai pas besoin d’aller vite, j’ai seulement besoin de prendre l’air.

Active Nature - En vedette I'm in snowshoeing's heaven!
