Enjoy relaxation

When the air turns cooler, treat yourself to a break at one of the Laurentian spas. Hot tubs, saunas, and relaxation areas surrounded by the colors of the season—each experience becomes an invitation to recharge. A wellness escape, a moment of pure self-care, ideal for enjoying the season in complete comfort and serenity.

“Le Refuge” is where you can unplug, take a breath and get back to the basics. Here, you don't fill time, you restore its true value. Sleep in a dome or in a micro chalet surrounded by nature, wake up by the lake, slow down between hot tub and sauna sessions and head out to explore the trail on a fatbike. Here, every moment invites you to take a break from your daily life, to breathe deeply and to restore your balance. As the night falls, calm settles, the stars take over and nature becomes your only horizon. In “Le Refuge,” wellness is more than just an activity: it’s a way to fully experience your stay. (Website in French only)

As the air turns crisp, an overnight stay in nature is the perfect way to extend a fall escape. At Parc Omega, accommodations overlooking the wolves offer an immersive experience surrounded by forest and wildlife. At Kenauk Nature, secluded cottages invite guests to disconnect from everyday life, away from cell service and Internet, in a vast wilderness filled with lakes and colourful landscapes. These two distinctive experiences offer memorable ways to slow down, enjoy an evening by the fire and wake up to the peaceful rhythm of the fall season.

To elevate your getaway, the Spa Fairmont Le Château Montebello is ideal to combine relaxation with a stay in a unique destination: the world’s largest log building. You’ll be charmed by the magic of fall in this enchanting and rejuvenating setting.
