In winter

Be aware that you're heading out into the wilderness, and that the biggest danger in Quebec winters is the cold.

So it's a good idea to be prepared for any eventuality, especially as the climate is more rigorous and changeable in winter than in summer.

In the event of bad weather, or even an accident, you may have to stay in one place for a long time before help arrives.

In winter, please bring the following basic equipment:

• Mountain snowshoes (with crampons)
• Warm walking boots
• Alternative clothing options (warm socks, gloves or mittens, toque and extra layer of clothing).
• A minimum of drinking water (1 to 2 liters/person/day), snacks or another source of energy.
• Headlamp with spare batteries (days are short in winter)

Your dog must always be held on a leash and under supervision. The maximum leash length is 3 metres.

Your dog must not never be left alone à un hébergement, à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur (chalet, yourte, refuge, tente, campeur ou véhicule). Il doit être sous la surveillance d’une personne responsable en tout temps. Prévoir des couvertures pour couvrir les surfaces nécessaires et vos bols.

The excrement of your dog must be picked up on trails and at lodging sites. Plastic bags containing excrement must never be hung on trees or left on trails. They must be kept during the hike and disposed of properly.

A dog displaying aggressive or annoying peace of mind for Vallée Bras-du-Nord users is not tolerated.
