Accès Nature: Winter Is Within Reach!

This winter, Vallée Bras-du-Nord invites you to explore its hiking and fatbike trails free of charge! Thanks to the Accès Nature program, enjoy free access from November 15, 2024 to March 30, 2025.

This initiative, made possible by Parq and the financial support of the Quebec Ministry of Education, aims to make nature accessible to all Quebecers and encourage outdoor activities.

Here, everyone is welcome!

At Vallée Bras-du-Nord, one of our core missions is to make the outdoors accessible to all—so everyone can enjoy the benefits of nature, regardless of their experience or budget. Our trails are suited to all skill levels and a wide range of activities, allowing everyone to experience an adventure that fits their pace. In addition, our rental service makes it easy to discover or enjoy outdoor activities without hassle.

Because we firmly believe that the best memories are made in simplicity—and above all, that everyone should have access to the outdoors—we offer baby carrier hiking backpack rentals! Our high-quality Thule Sapling packs make it easy and comfortable to carry children aged 6 months and up who can sit on their own.  

Don't leave anyone behind! Because we know how much our four-legged companions are part of the family, dogs are welcome on all our hiking trails (as long as they’re kept on a leash), as well as in most of our yurts and shelters.
