Get ready to be charmed by the irresistible appeal of the village of Saint-Côme! This destination is brimming with entertainment and ranks at the top of the list for outdoor enthusiasts. When winter arrives, the alpine ski mountain becomes the heart of the area, promising memorable adventures.
Discover our itinerary for a winter getaway of a few days in Saint-Côme and its surroundings.
DAY 1
We start the day with a visit to Chute-à-Bull Regional Park. This park is a must-see in every season, but it is especially impressive during the winter! Discover the majestic 18-meter-high waterfall, frozen in ice and draped in snow. Explore the hiking trails leading to breathtaking viewpoints near the Belvédère refuge.
In the village, explore dozens of kilometers of trails maintained for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and even fat biking. Add to that a municipal skating rink and an ice ring in the heart of the village, and you'll have everything you need for outdoor fun.
No matter what activity you choose, end the day with a good meal at Microbrasserie Trécarré, ideally located on the main street. This warm and friendly establishment offers good craft beers and delicious cuisine.
DAY 2
With 36 trails spread across three slopes, Val Saint-Côme is THE place to be for downhill skiing in the region. For over 40 years, the resort has been welcoming skiers of all levels, from beginners to experts, for an exceptional skiing experience! Conditions are optimal throughout the season, thanks to state-of-the-art maintenance equipment. And that's not all: hiking trails are carefully maintained on the mountain. Ski touring enthusiasts will find uphill trails that meet their expectations.
For those who don't ski and prefer to have fun with their families, spend the day at Plein air Lanaudia. Tubing, snowshoeing, broomball, curling, obstacle courses, and ice skating are available for free play, while guided activities such as rock climbing, archery, zip lining, and geocaching are also offered. Rustic cottages, condos, and rooms are also available for those who wish to stay overnight.
For an adventurous night in nature, plan to sleep in one of the Gollé Goulu cabins or in one of the Boisés de la Rivière Noire pods, located nearby in Sainte-Émélie-de-l'Énergie.
DAY 3
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure in the enchanting Swaggin River area, accessible year-round via the National Trail. Hike miles of trails along waterfalls and the river. Make this day a memorable experience by spending a night in a shelter. First you'll come across the Swaggin shelter, and further on, the Lavigne shelter awaits you halfway. An adventure that will bring you closer to nature, summer or winter.
We'll finish with a quick stop at the Maison du bonheur boutique-café, which celebrates the delights of forest plants. Their menu showcases the treasures of the forest, offering several delicacies to discover. With a boreal-flavored latte and a delicious muffin in hand, you can hit the road home while enjoying these little treats. You can also stop at Origine Art | Atelier et boutique for a unique experience. This Indigenous art gallery has retained its authentic character, reminiscent of traditions.
