Go for a spa-day

The end of summer vacation, the start of a new school year, meetings of all kinds coming back... these all contribute to creating a stressful time for many people! The spas in the Laurentians can help out and provide the perfect antidote and some welcome relief! Whether you’re looking for a Nordic spa in the heart of nature or a spa offering a host of therapeutic treatments within a charming inn or renowned hotel, you’re sure to find the one that’s just right for you, and that will make you feel like you’re on your first day of vacation again!


Choose an active stay

While some people can find it difficult to say goodbye to summer, others welcome the invigorating coolness of fall and take advantage of the opportunity to discover great fall activities and the beauty of nature. The vast territory of the Laurentians can be a setting for both active adventure and contemplation of its colourful scenery, making it an ideal destination for fall trips! Parks and trails for hiking and mountain biking are everywhere. Road cyclists also have plenty of options, and golfers will be spoilt for choice on courses decked out in brilliant colours.


A road trip to savour

The Laurentians boast a rich heritage in terms of history and culture, but also homegrown food! The Chemin du Terroir des Laurentides, inaugurated in 2010, is a signposted trail covering more than 226 km, mainly on the back roads of the Lower Laurentians. This trail showcases all the riches of the Laurentian terroir, much to the delight of visitors eager to make gourmet discoveries. You can bet your trunk will be well-stocked when you return!
