You’d love to head out with the family without any hassles attached? Here are three accommodations to fully enjoy the region without making any compromises. Each venue offers activities that will please everyone. In fact, they’ve thought of pretty much everything to satisfy the entire family!
For accommodations that will leave everyone starry-eyed and delight both kids and adults alike, head to Mont Mégantic! Once there, you’ll have plenty of lodging options to choose from: cozy cabins, mountain shelters, or even camping under the stars.
One of Mont Mégantic’s greatest advantages is the ability to enjoy a wide range of activities right on site, making trip planning wonderfully easy. Looking to get moving? Take on Mount Saint-Joseph and enjoy breathtaking views from the summit, or opt for the Brook Trail, a perfect choice for younger children. In winter, discover the snow ghosts across one of the three peaks rising above 1,000 metres, or have fun as a family with sledding.
No visit would be complete without stopping at the ASTROLab, located at the foot of the park. During the day, explore the Universe through immersive experiences and visit the scientific observatory at the summit, accessible by car during the summer season. At night, enjoy an immersive astronomy show led by passionate experts. The Parc national du Mont‑Mégantic promises nature at its grandest — from Earth to the stars.
The Parc de la Gorge proposes several lodging options that will certainly meet all your needs: cottages, ready-to-camp units, campsites and shelters. No matter which one you choose, their installations are accessible, well equipped and perfectly adapted for families!
Here as well, the biggest advantage of staying on the site is that you’ll be able to enjoy many activities without having to drive there! Discover the famous suspended bridge by taking a short walk on a family-friendly trail. Your active teens and tweens will want to try mountain biking, while the younger ones will love visiting the Margaret petting farm, where they’ll come in close contact with all kinds of endearing animals. In winter, you’ll have just as much fun when you try the park’s snow scooters or head out on fatbikes.
In summer, Foresta Lumina is a must. You’ll be awestruck by this meandering, illuminated pathway as you marvel at the spectacular light show and captivating multimedia and sound effects creating this magical moment. Foresta Lumina invites visitors to delve into a universe inspired by the heritage of the region and Québec mythology. Experience a memorable evening both playful and truly poetic.
For large families, and those who’ve adopted a philosophy of The More the Merrier, the Domaine Lac Brompton is an accommodation meant for you! With thirteen cottages for rent and able to welcome up to thirty guests, you’re sure to find an option to suit your needs. The establishment proposes a unique setting where you can enjoy several activities or simply relax in comfort. All this, in the heart of nature in the Eastern Townships.
During your stay, the entire family can head out on the water by renting a pontoon inviting up to ten people onboard. Kayaks and pedal boats are also available for those who love varying their lake activities! And for outdoors sports enthusiasts, you can exercise your leg muscles on the many hiking trails only a few minutes away.
But it’s the Brasserie Lac Brompton that will definitely win you over. This steak house and seafood restaurant attracts visitors as much with its eclectic menu as with the magnificent views overlooking the lake. Here they aim to please your tastebuds as well as your eyes!
