Nestled on the mountainside overlooking the majestic Saguenay fjord, the Auberge du Cap au Leste is a gem of accommodation in the heart of nature. A true rustic-chic retreat, it offers direct access to breathtaking panoramas, hiking trails, a wellness area with a pool and sauna, as well as cuisine inspired by Quebec's terroir. The Auberge is much more than a place to sleep: it is an ideal starting point to explore the treasures of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. Mitik invites you to establish your base camp for a rejuvenating, active, or contemplative stay. Although the packages offered are designed for three nights, it is entirely possible to extend your adventure for a few days or more, according to your desires. Mitik and the team at Cap au Leste can also provide suggestions for additional days to integrate into your stay, whether to deepen relaxation, further explore the snowy trails, or discover the surrounding villages of the fjord. This package is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy an active winter in a breathtaking setting. Between snowshoeing, sliding, and hiking in the snow, the fjord becomes your playground. Saguenay in winter offers a striking spectacle: snow-covered mountains, a frozen fjord, a sleeping boreal forest, and a crystal-clear sky. Cap au Leste becomes, at this time, a warm refuge for lovers of the northern nature, silence, and active sensations.
