Skiing, walking… climbing walls? Several Quebec cooperative businesses and organizations offer just that. Here are 5 of them to discover:
This 620-meter mountain set in a beautiful landscape at Lac-Etchemin offers, among other things, 25 ski trails, 11 of which are illuminated at night, as well as several kilometers of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Though it has been around since 1974, it wasn’t until 2012 that the ski resort became a solidarity cooperative.
Another great transformation of a church – the Saint-Yves church in Rimouski – turned into a bouldering cooperative. They offer courses and you can grab a coffee on-site. Additionally, Riki Bloc also organizes climbing outings in the Rimouski area. Definitely worth exploring!
This outdoor cooperative, established in 2002, is located in Saint-Raymond, close to Quebec City. Its 9 trails spread across roughly 80 km are just one of the attractions for winter activity enthusiasts.
Skiing, snowshoeing, fat biking, Via Ferrata, and backcountry skiing are among the reasons to spend a day there. Or several! The Vallée du Bras-du-Nord also offers accommodation (yurts, shelters, cabins) for those who might not want to leave…
A cooperative travel agency for the Lanaudière region, offering round-trip transportation to Montreal. Whether it’s for a day of skiing, a stay at Lac Taureau, or a dogsledding adventure, it’s a great gift idea to give or indulge in!
Cross-country skiing, snow scootering, ice skating, sledding, hiking… This cooperative park is a small package of winter pleasures! Definitely a destination to mark in your calendar during the holidays. Or before! And after!
