Day 1: Enjoy winter activities at the Val-Jalbert Historical Village
Throughout spring break, the Village historique de Val-Jalbert invites you to enjoy the joys of winter on its site. Many activities are offered in partnership with the Club Plein-Air Ouiatchouan: walking, sliding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, entertainment, and opening of the general store.
Also taste the famous blueberry taffy on snow, a real delight!
Spend the night in a period house!
From February 25 to March 5, 2022, Val-Jalbert offers its accommodations in winter mode! Enjoy a room furnished in the style of the 1920s in the heart of the Village, in a period house or on the floor of the General Store, and live a unique experience.
Day 2: Discover the Pekuakamiulnuatsh at the Amerindian Museum of Mashteuiatsh
During spring break, visit the Musée amérindien de Mashteuiatsh, one of the most interesting museums in Quebec. Come and discover the culture of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh (Ilnus of Lac Saint-Jean) and other First Nations of North America through fascinating activities and exhibits.
Stretch your legs in Saint-Prime
Once the visit to the Amerindian Museum is over, head to Saint-Prime for a family walk or snowshoeing tour of the Boisé de Curé trails, located behind the Centre Récréatif Quatre-Temps. In the evening, from 3:30 p.m. to 11 p.m., the trail is illuminated with strings of lights and spotlights.
Satisfy your sweet tooth at Miss Gâteaux!
Are there food lovers in your family? In Saint-Prime, a stop at Miss Gâteaux is a must to taste their delicious cakes and pastries.
Day 3: Meet the animals at the Saint-Félicien Wild Zoo
During spring break, discover the Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien and its residents in a different way! As most of the species living at the Zoo sauvage de Saint-Félicien are acclimatized to the cold, it is possible to observe animals in quasi-liberty and very active in winter.
Day 4: A day of sliding at Club Tobo-Ski
Whether it's downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, or tubing, we welcome you to Club Tobo-Ski in Saint-Félicien for a day of sliding! Fatbike and snowshoeing enthusiasts will also find plenty of trails on the site.

At the Moulin des Pionniers in La Doré, enjoy 2 km of snowshoe trails and a 12 km cross-country ski trail.
An overnight stay in a themed cottage
Looking for an original experience to accommodate the family? Spend the night in one of the themed cottages! The choice is yours: Would you prefer to sleep like the owners of the mill in an ancestral house, or in a dormitory, like in the days of the logging camps?
