Winter in Full Glory at Le Baluchon: Cross-Country Skiing, Fat Biking, and Culinary Delights in Mauricie
Located in the heart of a protected 1,200-acre estate in Saint-Paulin, Le Baluchon offers far more than just a stay: it’s a fully immersive nature experience, set against a stunning winter landscape that delights lovers of wide-open spaces—and those who enjoy relaxing by the fire as well.
Cross-Country Skiing and Fat Biking: Winter’s Headliners
Whether you’re visiting with friends, as a couple, or with family, our winter activities promise hours of enjoyment.
With 40 km of cross-country ski trails combining both classic and skate skiing, skiers enjoy exceptional conditions thanks to a PistenBully groomer—the same technology used at the Olympic Games. Add to that new trail signage and the Ondago app, and every outing becomes a smooth, safe, and inspiring experience.
As for winter trends, fat biking is gaining major popularity in Québec—and we’ve fully embraced it. Our network now features 30 km of dedicated trails, perfect for exploring the snow-covered forest in a whole new way and enjoying an exhilarating winter micro-adventure.
Even More Ways to Enjoy Winter
Snowshoeing, outdoor skating, tube sliding… Here, winter is yours to enjoy at your own pace—whether you’re an experienced outdoor enthusiast or simply looking for precious moments to share with family, friends, or someone special.
Treat Yourself to a New Adventure
Let your adrenaline rise with a dog sledding excursion, feel the rhythm of a horseback ride through pristine nature, or be swept away by the magic of a horse-drawn sleigh ride across snow-covered landscapes.
The Pleasure Continues at the Table
After the effort comes comfort. Our cuisine, inspired by local terroir and the seasons, beautifully completes the experience. There’s nothing quite like a delicious meal to end a day spent outdoors—cheeks flushed from the cold, mind at ease. Several dining options await: from the three-course gourmet menu or the eight-course tasting menu in our dining room to the à la carte menu at the Éco-Café, a memorable culinary experience is guaranteed.
