Fun Things To Do

• If you like the idea of seeing animals roam free in their natural habitat, the Zoo sauvage de Saint Félicien, open year-round, offers a range of activities based on interacting with the resident wildlife.
• Add a dash of history to your stay with a stop at the Village history de Val-Jalbert. This old hamlet thrived for 25 years around a pulp mill built at the foot of a waterfall.
• The Montagnais people of Lac Saint-Jean share their stories, history and cultural heritage with you at the Musée amérindien de Mashteuiatsh.

Sporting Adventures

• Roll along at your own pace around Lac Saint-Jean on the Véloroute des Bleuets (blueberry cycle path), where you can enjoy 250 km of delectable vistas of the boundless waters.
• Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon, home to beavers and moose and the perfect spot for a little swimming, kayaking or canoeing.
• Parc national des Monts-Valin is noteworthy for 900-meter peaks, magnificent views, and many rivers and lakes.
• Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay puts the accent squarely on the spectacular beauty of the Saguenay Fjord. The waters of the fjord are part of the Saguenay-Saint-Lawrence Marine Park, a vast marine conversation area for beluga and other species of whale.
• The Parc Aventures Cap Jaseux offers original ways to explore the fjord: by sea kayak, sailboat, via ferrata or along an aerial rope course through the forest.
