Hiking in Les sentiers du Mont-Bélanger: trails, map and practical info

Attempted the winter hike and while the snow-covered landscape was absolutely beautiful, the icy sections required extra caution and proper equipment. Much quieter than summer months which added to the peaceful experience. Would definitely recommend bringing microspikes or similar traction devices for safety on the steeper sections.

Winter conditions made this trail quite challenging with icy sections throughout the route.

Started my hike early in the morning and was rewarded with incredible tranquility on the trails.
