Experience

Cross-country skiing

Our cross-country ski trails are closed for the season and will reopen in December 2025, as soon as snow conditions allow. See you soon!

Our 35 kilometers of groomed trails through forests and along the riverside are ideal for cross-country skiing and ski-skating. Le Baluchon is one of the only outdoor sites in Mauricie to offer a snow groomer that conditions the snow to ensure exceptional quality, a technology used during the Winter Olympics.

Check trail conditions before heading out.
