Winter Activities
Come discover La Mauricie National Park decked out it in its most spectacular winter finery. Experience this wonderland and its exceptional cross-country skiing and snowshoeing opportunities.

In order to make the most of your outing and avoid any unpleasant incidents, here are a few guidelines to follow:
For your safety
