4- days of slow-cooning to make the most of wintererapy
Slow-cooning is our little word for a winter lifestyle that blends slow tourism and Nordic cocooning. For four days, let yourself be carried away by the slowness, the silence of the snowy forest, the comfort of warm accommodations, and the magic of Quebec’s winterapy.

Day 1- Montréal -Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci via St-Liguori
Leaving Montreal in the morning, the air becomes cleaner, the forests denser, and the peaks gently whitened by snow. First activity suggestion: dog sledding at Aventures Liguoriennes in Saint-Liguori, along the way.
Arrival at Expérience Équinox, where accommodations are available in four-season immersive domes: panoramic roof, private spa, indoor and outdoor fireplace, full kitchen… each dome is designed for comfort and total immersion in nature.
Spend the afternoon strolling the surrounding trails—snowshoeing is available on site—then return to warm up around the fireplace, savoring the warmth of the wood, the subdued lighting, and the snowy silence.
At night, under the stars visible through the glass dome, you’ll be lulled by the breath of the mountain.

Day 2-Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci-Sainte-Émélie-de-l'Énergie via Rawdon
The next day, depart for La Source Nordic Baths for a day of rest and relaxation (reservations recommended) in an enchanting natural setting where silence reigns supreme. A hot bath is followed by a cold-water immersion for the bravest, followed by a relaxing period by the fire or inside. Enjoy a meal at the spa’s bistro, where they serve delicious local produce. Head to the Boisés de la rivière Noire.
There, you’ll find fully equipped pods, often with a private spa, surrounded by the river and the silent forest.
The setting: large bay windows, a terrace, a wood-burning stove, and a spa—the perfect place to slow down and continue relaxing.

Day 3 — Sainte-Émélie-de-L'Énergie - Saint-Paulin
After a gentle awakening in your pod, head to St-Paulin to reach Le Baluchon Eco-Resort.
At Le Baluchon, everything is designed to respect nature: a variety of accommodations (inns, chalets), local cuisine, a nature spa, and eco-responsibility.
Several activities are available on site. Treat yourself to a snowshoe hike on the trails (Le Baluchon offers approximately 35 km of snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails) or a contemplative stroll along the river in the sleepy forest. Horseback riding and dog sledding are also available ($$).
In the evening, enjoy the spa, the outdoor Nordic bath, or treatments to soothe your muscles. Then, enjoy a gourmet feast inspired by local products in the restaurant.

Day 4 —St-Paulin - St-Jean-des-Piles
In the morning, depart for the famous La Mauricie National Park. The park offers over 54 km of marked snowshoe trails, with panoramic views of the forest, valleys, and the Saint-Maurice River.
Immerse yourself in the whiteness, the snow-laden trees, the vast sky, and the silence punctuated by the crunch of snow beneath your feet.
At the end of the day, head to Nature Nature, located in St-Jean-des-Piles, on the banks of the Saint-Maurice River, perched on the mountainside near the park.
This place offers eco-friendly accommodations (eco-shelters, micro-shelters, cabins, and a thermal chalet) in a minimalist, unpretentious style, where “nature is at the heart of every choice.”
In the evening, by the fire, you will reflect on these four days of gentle immersion: forests, snow, well-being, silence and a deep connection with the land – a winterapy slow-cooning where exoticism is embodied in the contrast of Nordic nature and inner softness!

Day 5- St-Jean-des-Piles-Trois-Rivières- Québec
Continue your journey to the provincial capital, stopping in Trois-Rivières, the regional capital, to continue your discoveries in slow-cooning mode and return home calm and serene, ready to face the stress of daily life knowing that you will never be quite the same again…
