Parc national des Grands-Jardins
Québec's national park Region:Charlevoix City : Saint-Urbain
A memorable getaway awaits you at this 310-km2 (120-sq.-mi.) park showcasing the beauty of the boreal forest and tundra. Delve into a black spruce forest carpeted in lichen—as lush as an English garden. This Arctic vegetation is home to the caribou, which you may glimpse at any given bend in the trail! Enjoy the stunning wilderness at the core of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve in the heart of Northern Québec. In winter, after a day of snowshoeing or skiing on the slopes of Mont-du-Lac-des-Cygnes or La Chouenne, settle in at one of the charming new EXP. cabins at the base of the cliffs. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience!
