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!
Pour un hébergement qui mettra des étoiles plein les yeux et qui ravira autant les petits que les grands, direction le mont Mégantic! Sur place, plusieurs options d’hébergement s’offrent à vous : chalets chaleureux, refuges en pleine montagne ou encore camping sous les étoiles.
L’un des grands avantages du mont Mégantic est la possibilité de profiter de nombreuses activités directement sur place, ce qui simplifie réellement l’organisation du séjour. Envie de bouger? Partez à la conquête du mont Saint-Joseph et profitez d’un panorama saisissant au sommet, ou choisissez la promenade du ruisseau, parfaite pour les plus jeunes. En hiver, laissez-vous surprendre par les fantômes de la neige sur l’un des trois sommets de plus de 1 000 m, ou amusez-vous en famille avec la luge.
Impossible de passer à côté de l'ASTROLab, situé au pied du parc. De jour, explorez l’Univers grâce à des expériences immersives et visitez l’Observatoire scientifique au sommet, accessible en voiture durant la saison estivale. De nuit, vivez un spectacle d’astronomie immersif animé par des passionnés. Le parc national du Mont‑Mégantic, c’est la promesse de vivre la nature en grand, de la Terre aux étoiles.
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!
