Mégantic : sublime landscapes and family activities from the Earth to the stars!

When you head out to discover the vast Mégantic region, it’s like going on an excursion in the heart of an exceptional environment. With the first International Dark Sky Reserve on its territory, two national parks, one of which holds a popular astronomical observatory, la Route des Sommets offering breathtaking landscapes, a wide-open natural setting is right here ready to meet you… from the Earth to the stars!

Surrounded by Snow Ghosts

Parc national du Mont-Mégantic

Standing at an altitude of more than 1,000 m, both Mounts Mégantic and Saint-Joseph are a must for snowshoeing and winter hiking enthusiasts. By taking the trails that lead to the top of these mountains, you’ll find yourself in the middle of these trees that have been transformed themselves into snow ghosts, a rather spectacular phenomenon, observable only on the highest summits of the region. Well known for its exceptional snow accumulation, the Parc National du Mont-Mégantic also offers 26 km intermediate and expert cross-country skiing trails. And, while you’re here, in the first International Dark Sky Reserve, offer yourself a torchlight outing or an astronomy evening at the ASTROLab. Absolutely magical!
