Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Published on Feb 3, 2020
Do your like watching a race? If so, two very different competitive events are taking place this weekend. Perhaps you’re a dedicated foodie? Well then, head for the Marché Locavore d'hiver – a winter locavore market. When it comes to outdoor activities with the family, Granby and Megantic will be offering tons of fun…Have a great weekend!
Fresh air and man’s best friend are on the agenda at Mont Gosford. 60 mushers will be driving their dogsled teams as they race across the snow – an impressive sight as the animals all try to outdo each other by running faster and faster….Other attractions include inflatable games, tubing, a campfire, guided snowshoe treks, a winter barbecue, taffy on snow – everything, in short, to keep the family entertained outdoors for an entire day!
Saturday, February 8 and Sunday, February 9 from 11am | Mont Gosford
The tourist centre always offers a ton of activities and this Saturday is no exception! How about a day of ice fishing on Lake Megantic (9am-4pm)? Or would you prefer something more active? There’s plenty of choice – 8 alpine and snowboard runs, 3 tubing courses, 30 kilometres of cross-country trails and 14 kilometres of snowshoe trails. In the evening, you can opt for a torchlit tour on snowshoes or cross-country skis (7pm-10pm).
